Just sharing a little bit of information for everyone that is getting a huge squeak when they shift into 2nd at WOT. 1st of all i am in no way a mechanic and this is way too easy of a job. What you need is a DAYCO tensioner Part#305291 and a 92.25" Gatorback belt Part#4060922. Squeal is gone for good (so far). I installd it like a week ago and wanted to give the belt some time to settle into the grooves. but today i tested it, went wide open and at about 55-5700RMPs..... a sound i haven't heard in about 4 yrs. didnt know if i would get it with the bigger, wider and heavier wheels...but they screamed like hot chix at Crystal Lake on a Friday. This fix is too simple and cheap to pass up. Tensioner $33.99, belt $30.99 from autozone. BTW this is a one person job. no assistance neccessary.

Found some tinny stone's inbetween the rib's on the belt.

Took it inside and scrubed it in the tub with dish washing liquid got all the stone's out and it was good to go.

It was only on the car for 4 months a new GatorBack.
