Squeaking Belt?
I'm currently in route to Florida and I can now hear my serpentine belt squeaking. Is this an issue I need to get fixed ASAP or will I be ok for the trip there and back? I'm coming from Texas/LA border.

Might be the tensioner and not the belt...pretty tough to say sitting behind a keyboard. If it were me I'd get it checked out rather than risk being stranded on the side of the road.

When mine was changed a couple of months ago I paid around 180 bucks for the tensioner, and I think around 60 bucks for the belt. I can't say what the labor would be since I had some other stuff done at the same time, but I wouldn't think it would be much over an hour.

Thanks Steve for the help, and thanks Bismic for the price and PN! Reps to both when I get on a norm computer and not my phone!
