I tried looking for an answer to this already, but didn't have luck. I have a 1996 cobra with a vortech supercharger. I recently replaced the serpentine belt, but ever since I believe my belt has been squealing starting at 2000 rpms. This will happen for about 10 minutes or so and then it will go away. This doesn't happen at idle so it's hard to diagnose. I've tried checking all the pullies and they seem ok, and the tensioner appears to be good as well (I say this because the belt is a pain in the butt to get on and also the belt seems tight as can be.) Has anyone experienced this issue before? Any suggestions on what else to look for?

Thanks!

New belt me be a smige bigger, take it back and get another
Pulley would be more a chirp/squeak noise

What brand belt? If I use anything other then a gatorback the belt will squeal.

I had a friend come over and rev the engine the sound is definitely coming from the tensioner puller, however I checked it again and it was in solid working order (good smooth spinning and no wobble side to side. The belt I got was a dayco, and one before was a gatorback so there might be something to it. Unfortunately I'm terrible at keeping receipts so hopefully they'll take it back without one. Thanks for the input!

i would get under the hood and pull on the throttle body linkage to rev it up and see if you can find out exactly where it is at.
