That sounds likely Josh, but I'd double check to make sure they sold you the
correct belt before replacing the tensioner. I don't recall if you have UD
pulleys requiring a non-stock belt length. Even if you don't, if this new
belt is even a little longer than what you need, it will certainly slip
enough to squeal. Otherwise, try a new tensioner.
