So I have done a cooling system overhaul minus radiator, replaced belts, tensioners, and pulleys.

But I have a squeaky pulley elsewhere. I'm not sure if it is the compressor pulley, alternator pulley, ect..

Anybody know what it may be and if it is one of these pulleys, should I and how to go about replacing it?

Any common issues with this?

Best way for you to diagnose a pulley is to take off the belts and try out each individual pulley on their own. Flip them with your finger and listen for any sounds. They shouldn't make any noises when spun by hand.

Looking at some vids it seems as it might be the alternator pulley. I also think the compressor clutch needs replacing. Not the same noise but I have the noise also.

Boo.

Got a video? Can you single out which side it's coming from regarding AC or Alternator?

DW, replied.

I agree, pull belt and see if you can find one that doesn't sound like the others.
