I just had a 3.4" SC pulley and larger tensioner put on my '97 GTP. Now there is a slight repetative squeak but, only when I give it gas at lower speeds. It is nothing real loud but it does squeak when I give it gas and only when I give it gas. Anybody else had this squeak ?

When you replaced pulley, did you replace belt?

When I replaced mine, the belt was old stock, it was slipping. Replaced that. Then the idler pulley went. It stopped the noise till idler went. But when they went that close together, it's very hard to tell which one it was.

I have that squeak too but, only when the car is shut off. This squeak is coming from the pulley area.
