my fan belt keeps sliding back onto the block making it squeek like a bi#$h! i believe the pulley is called the idler pulley. the one with a bolt going directly into the block. my question is how do i remedy this. its got a fairly new belt. started a week ago. i found that if i loosen it, the belt comes off the block and doesnt sqeek, but by the end of the day it slides back to the block and starts squeeking again. any suggestions???

Which one in the pic below are you talking about to be exact?

the one that is in between the ac and the crank pulley. its actually about that but i think you know what im talking about. the one if you pull on the belt the pulley moves.

Yep. Tension/idler pully. The belt shouldn`t move off of it at all. Maybe it needs to be replaced.

yeah no way its the belt. it has zero wear and is only a few months old.

Im surethe beltis the right size. Right? If you need to change the tension pulley, check out www.rockauto.com They have pretty good prices on parts. I`ve got alot of parts through them. No problems.
