About 2 months ago I started hearing a high pitched chattering/squeaking sound coming from around the fan/alternator/pulley area. It's getting louder and sometimes will abruptly stop, then in a few minutes, will start again.

I just replaced the fan belt and that did not cure the problem. I cannot find any obvious problem. Any information will be appreciated.

Disregard - I think I found the problem - tension pulley.

Tension pulley--take it off, clean the bolt and the innards, put on some hi-temp grease and reassemble.

Did the same with my '97 last fall--took less than 30 minutes...........
