belt sqeak

[daniel3507]

Sometimes when i would start my truck the belt would squeak for just a minute or 2 and would go away when it warmed up. today though i start it up and its worse than ever. i let it run for awhile and thinking it would stop like always but it never did. sprayed belt dressing, no change. i did a search and came up with the conclusion that it could be the tensioner or the cam synchro. my question though, do the 93's even have a cam synchro or should i just have the tensioner replaced.

Mine did that. I changed the Tensioner and it stopped. Try that first.

what happens to the tensioner that makes it squeak?

The spring in it just gets weak, allowing it to bounce back and forth while idling. I think this causes the squeak.
