My belt tensioner pulley is screamin like the bearings are dry. Dealer had to order it (even though I told him over the phone that I was sure it was the tensioner pulley because I had isolated the noise

My Impala had the same problem, have any of you had this?

It is when your car is hot (driving under normal conditions) and then after you turn it off and restart it, it makes the noise???? My car is doing that....Is this recall for 99????? It doesn't make the noise when the car is cold, it only makes it after it's been warmed up....and once i start to go it stops????

Thanks Ken, I'll let the dealer know.
