I just replaced mine. My belt would squeal a bit when the engine was
cold and I was using the AC. It started happening right after I put in
the underdrive pulley and the viper fan. I think the new pulley/belt
combo is maybe a little longer than the stock setup. I got mine from
http://www.autopartsgiant.com

DAYCO 89215 AUTO BELT TENSIONER 50.22
DAYCO 89008 IDLER/TENSIONER PULLEY 14.79
GATES 38116 TENSIONER 54.03
GATES 38016 PULLEY 16.16

I got the Gates model.
free shipping,
2.95 handling
4.70 California Tax
Total was 61.68

mine locked up at 65k, and took the PS and the waterpump with it...
Cost me more than $80 even with the extended warranty...

I just replaced mine a few weeks ago, it was just locked up after
165,000
miles. It cost me about $80 at NAPA, and took my freind Frank about
10
minutes to put it in.
