I had 2 idlers take a crap on me a month apart! Shredded the belt both times and 2 tows! I Just got a Dallas Performance direct drive and belt slip and squealing idlers issues are over!

If it is one of your idlers making the noise, it will fail, just a matter of when and how far away from home you will be! Good luck!

Take a short video of the noise on startup and post it up!

$750 if I remember correctly! It's not cheap, but all your accessories will be at stock tension, and your S/C belt will be much shorter and eliminate any slip!

Call them and ask about it!

Give me a call at the shop and we can help you figure it out. If you spray water on the belt while it's chirping and it goes away for a second then it's belt alignment related.
