Help....replaced belts and pulleys twice in 20 months for squealing. Last set put on 2 days ago and its squealing again. Used Toyota belts first time, Dayco this time.

partspro said:Check that ALL your pulleys line up perfectly. Just a little bit off and the belt can squeal. Even though I've sold 'tons' of Dayco belts, Gates seems to be better. Also, many belts squeal because the tensioner is shot, just not providing enough pressure. Lastly, some accessory may be loading the belt excessively, alternator, power steering pump, a/c compressor.

Good advice, obviously a lot of experience/knowledge.
I would look closely at the tensioner.
