    I just started hearing these squeaks from the front the engine. Not sure if it's the belt or pulley/tensioner? Anyone recognize this sound?

    check you belt, idler pulley and tensioner. A replacement of said items would probably get rid of that noise. If not, there is may be another bearing pully going bad like on alternator or something.

    Tensioner...I have replaced mine 3 times over 1 year warranty using an aftermarket and the shop was tired of mine and others constantly needing replaced. I ended up swapping in an OEM tensioner and it's been waaaaay better even in the cold...the cost was roughly $150 all in, including labor. Piece of mind to get it repaired! I just breached 65k miles on a SC'd 5.7 for reference...

    What he said. My 2010 went through a few tensioners. I have the squeak on my 18 when cold but it goes away after warming up.

    Thanks. Was your squeak similar and did it cure it?

    Same noise when cold or after heavy rain. It goes away within 30 seconds.

    Spend $130 and buy the part and fix it yourself or spend $200 and have someone else do it...it will get worse as we are entering the older months and bother you more...

    If that were a Hemi it would be called normal. On a Toyota as stated probably a belt tensioner.
