Squealing belt on my TJ
I've noticed that If I press hard on the gas pedal I'll get a squealing belt sound from my TJ. It's gone on for a couple of months now, and only happens when I really give it the beans. There is a good chance that it's the factory original belt from 2005 (160k miles).
Is this likely a belt problem, or should I look into changing the belt tensioner as well?

Rockauto is leading me to believe that I should do the tensioner as well

They use a <3 to indicate popular purchase. They used another mark for OEM equipment. Cant recall.

Re: Squealing belt on my TJ
just finished replacing the belt, idler and tensioner. Super easy.
The hardest part was remembering how to put the belt back.
