RE: Serp belt and tensioner

That would explain my problem, maybe.

I've noticed an odd noise lately after long highway runs or running at high throttle with the A/C on...

I am about 20K past the 30K mark..... oops...

RE: Serp belt and tensioner

It seems like it makes the noise only when the A/C is on. Or it's more noticeable when the A/C is on.

I am going to change the belt this weekend to see if it helps.
