i have a 1995 chevrolet tahoe i purchased a few months ago. 138,000 miles. i just have a problem of the belt squeaking. first few days i had it there was no problem, then it started squeaking and i sprayed it with belt dressing, that took care of it for a few more days. now it keeps getting worse. a mechanic said it was the belt tensioner and an idler pully that was bent, i could see it slightly wobble, i had that replaced, that took care of it for a day, it starts squeaking as soon as i start it and stops after around 10 minutes. if its only been sitting a few hours or less it doesnt squeak when starting again. a friend said to put water on it and it would stop. i tried it and it instantly stops, but 30 seconds later it starts again. the belt looks like brand new so i havent replaced that yet, im thinking the previous owners put that on and once that didnt work they might have decided to get rid of it. please any suggestions
