Screeching upon cold starting...
...and belt squeeking until it warms up. Once the belt is warmed it doesn't screech or squeek when starting engine. The serpentine belt looks like new. I'm thinking the tensioner is about gone. It is supposed to show on the belt-tensioner dial thing if its time for replacement but I can't tell if it's still good or not. What tool(s) are used to change the tensioner? Thanks
