I've had one of their kits with three idler pulleys on my GTO for over a decade now (they were the only ones on the market at the time for a Pontiac motor). I had 5 different idlers squeal within a year of use, and even as short as 2 weeks of use (all at different times). And it only gets louder when the engine warms up.

Look into one of their kits that does not have an idler pulley, and has an automatic tensioner. Or look into one of the other companies like Vintage Air or Billet Specialties to name a couple.
Hey Duane... 5hnk for the heads up... I am using Vintage Air on this truck... will it come with what I need and have that polished look???...
