New Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner from 1AAuto.com https://trq.video/id-1AEBT00173

The tensioner is a springed device that keeps the serpentine belt in your vehicle at the correct tension to keep it on the pulleys, without being so tight that it breaks. Eventually the tensioner may become worn, loose, or stuck, resulting in belts that squeak, slip, or fall off. This video shows you how to install a new TRQ tensioner pulley in your 1999-2007 Chevy Silverado.
