I brought my lightning out of storage 2 weeks ago and as of saturday its been squeakin, it sounds like a belt or the tensioner, its not the SC belt i already checked that. I was going to replace the serpentine belt until I got to the crank pulley and realized I didn't have the flywheel tool. Any suggestions on what it could be? :banghead:

One of the idler pulley's? Shoot them with a little WD and start it up and see if it goes away.

The WD didn't work, but i have another idea, will an upper pulley begin to wear on the SC snout?

It doesn't make any noise under load, so tomorrow im going to put a stethascope on it and see if i cant find it, but right now im thinkin its the tensioner.
