Nice job .. just noticed my pulley was wobbling. Glad I looked at it.

Two things I didn’t need…marker or cardboard…thanks to your video!! This was a piece of cake and fixed the squeak. Not hearing the squeak made me enjoy the sweet sound of the motor all over again. I tested with water on the belt and then ordered the replacement kit from Amazon for $150. Took my son and I about 45 minutes.

Excellent! With belt patterns available online, it’s not really necessary to draw it out these days, but it’s a habit from many years ago!

I'm glad I came across your video. I did a preemptive strike on my 2011 Grand Sport and went with the Summit Racing balancer and the same Gates kit you used.

Balancer is a good idea right out the gate! Thanks for checking in!

Thanks needed this!

Thanks for checking it out!

FYI I own a C6 Grand Sport, only has 14k on the odometer and the harmonic balancer has a slight wobble, GM said it was normal and all good. My C5 has very low miles too, also has a slight wobble, again GM looked and said its fine. so a slight wobble is not an issue, in fact it normal. Its only when they get an excessive wobble on high milage cars that it becomes an issue, most cases.

I just bought a 7k 2011 grand sport and it has a horrible wobble with a damaged belt. Age has a lot to do.

Great video. What's the part number of the Gates pulley and belt kit? I definitely want to use Gates.

Thanks for checking it out! The Gates serpentine kit I used is linked in the description.

I think this is the problem I'm currently having but nothing has appeared in the diagnostic test or OBD II reader

A chirping/loose belt is not going to show up in diagnostics. Do the little water test I showed in the video and see if the noise stops

Excellent, BUT, you need to use fender protectors.

Only if you aren’t careful lol. I can’t remember the last time I used fender protectors on any vehicle. If I was doing something more involved, I probably would on this car.

Do not get oreillys tensioner Cheap china parts, mine literally split in two and not even 10k miles on it

So what happens if I do the water test and it continues to chirp? Edit:this also seems pretty simple. I'm not super mechanic savvy, so it shouldn't be that hard right? Said everyone ever 🤣

If you do the water test and it continues, then chances are that it’s actually a pulley. So you’d want to remove the belt and check each pulley. Sometimes the tensioner can be bad, the alternator can be noisy, but power steering pulleys seem to go bad-just check them all 😂
