whining noise

I replaced the surpentine belt and pully but the truck still whines, does anyone think it could be the idler pully?? The hardest part of the surpentine job was taking off the fan shroud any tips would be greatly appreciated>>

pully

I actually got it at a napa store for $35.00 it was out of stock at a few other part stores, they had the smooth pulley but not the grooved one, seems like its well made, not made in china at least
