It's noisy as heck and it jumps all over the place.
I am out of the bumper to bumper warr. I would assume this will not be covered by the 5/100 engine warr.
Should an aftermarket bumper to bumper cover this?

It is the upper passenger side tensioner. for a 2001 2500HD 6.6L DMAX/allison
If someone has a part# to use for GMdieseltech.com I would appreciate it

It is a common problem for the belt tensioners to go bad. That is what a local tech told me after the third replacement on the wife's '99 blazer. It could also be the belt making the noise, but if it is jumping around a lot, I would guess the belt tensioner or a combination of the belt tensioner going bad and the belt worn out. How many miles on the truck? Original belt and tensioner? I would try to get them to cover the tensioner under the engine warranty. I don't think the belt would be covered under it though(normal wear parts).

2001 w/ 42k on it, belt looks fine but could be suspect, I'll replace it and see if it stops.

Anyone know wher to get a goodyear belt for our applications?
