Default A quesiton about pulleys

Hey there guys! From what I can remember awhile back, there was a topic about the "squeek". Well, my gsx still hasn't stop squeeking for about 4 months now and it's beginning to get on my nerves a lot (cool car + weird engine noise = lots of people with bad staring = P ). I've changed the belts, tigthen anything that needs tightening, and it still squeeks. Oh yea, it only squeeks when i turn the car on when it's cold. So after awhile, I notice that when I turn my a/c on, it would squeek. So my guess is that the pulleys are mess up. I was just wondering if you guys would know how much it's going to cost to replace those pulleys. I've look for pulley kits, but AEM doesn't sell any for the 2G Eclipse. I am a bit lost and confuse. Would anyone help guide me in the right direction? Thanks.

yea usually the first time when you turn it on it would squeek like crazy for about 30 sec. then sometimes it comes back when im in reverse. i also notice that it squeeks a lot more when it rains.

I had the same problem and way overthought it. I tightened the alt belt and voila!!. The specs say something like 5-8 mm @21lbs. I don't have a belt tensioner so I was just guessing close...wasn't close enough.
