Pulley tensioner gave out?

[Ktorres1]

If it wasn't the water pump it soon became the serpentine belt and now the pulley tensioner.. I've nailed it done to the fact that it rattles only when the ac is on and during WOT shifts it, makes a screeching noise as if it's causing a possible belt slip on a brand new gates v gatorback belt! What is the best way to go about this and perhaps a part number would be nice as well as some direction... Thanks guy's

Go to a junkyard and grab one off a CV Taxi cab if you wanna save a few bucks. Those work too, but might have more miles than yours.... so choose carefully if you decide to go. I have had a few taxi ones on my car, but I have to cut mine up two different ways to get them to work. Actually Zack did the last one.

The parts are cheap enough new.

Half price days at junkyards can get me three for the price of one new one, but again gotta be careful with which ones to pick. I keep a spare in the car, just in case.

Maybe it's just me, but for a part that is less than $50.00 new why take a chance on a used one. If the old one isn't that bad, keep that as a spare.

I change my serpentine belt every 2 years whether it needs it or not. Keep the old belt in the trunk for emergencies.

HA! I wish my belts would last two years. They either break in six months or someone besides me notices one rib is missing. I better check it before MV. I keep a spare belt in the trunk too and yes it's also an old one.
