I have a 2000 chevy silverado 5.3 V8. There is a squeaking noise coming from the belt. I changed out the tentioner pully and that made it quit for a day but the squeak is back again. The tentioner is still showing inbetween the marks yet a little off center. Could this be just a bad belt or does the tentioner assembly need to be replaced all together or ???

Rule of thumb is to always replace both--the wear pattern on a rubber product does not change--the same goes for tires.
