    I've replaced the serpentine belt, but the engine is still chirping on a cold start. 2006 3.8L V6. I have read that it might be the tensioner, but how to do I know if it is that? Could it be anything else?

    No problem. I've only ever had luck with the gates pulleys, I've tried the cheeper ones but they don't seem to last.
