    Reread my post asshat. Many times a squeak from the BELT sounds like it's coming from the tensioner when it's actually the BELT. Most belt noises are due to one of the pulleys being out of alignment....most times the pulley in question is for the P/S. I know it's hard to fathom for you Tyler but I think everyone else got the point.

    If the squeak just started all of a sudden, how could the P/S be out of alignment? I mean what could cause the P/S to all of a sudden mis-align? I do agree that a misaligned belt could cause a squeak, but wouldn't it also start to shred a belt?

    No, nothing happens to the belt. We're talking about 1/16" of an inch or less. I've seen it on trucks more than a couple years old.

    A lot of times thats related to the PS pump thrust bearing failing. Take the belt off and see if the pump moves front to back and vice-versa.

    Why would you just want to change the Alternator pulley? And I believe ASP sals just an Alternator pulley. Just look at thier website or call them.
