[Metalface]

used a dayco #5060860 will put your tensioner in the middle of its range check where the tensioner range is at

Symptoms were clicking tensioner squeak ing belt
Here is a good read Belt length causing tensioner rattle

I found a old post of mine

Can't express how thankful I am for your replies.. That was solid thank you so much.
I am assuming no, but, you didn't have any dragging/malfunctioning belt driven components right? I'm thinking duh obviously not, but can't hurt to ask. Thank you thank you


Upon reading that thread; wow. I can't beleive there are multiple lengths of belt for the same engine and same config. What the hell? Explains why this is probably a thing right now to begin with. Had replaced the belt, among a bunch of stuff, around the same time.. No wonder narrowing things down was possible, I would've never suspected the belt but this makes total sense. I'm also surprised I couldn't manage to find this in Search LOL... Thank you again. Very very good resource for the job I'm about to do then.
