Default Squeaky C5 belt drive

My 2001 C5 has had a very squeaky belt. I replace the tensioner pulley because the bearings went out and it was squeaky, but the belt continued to make noise. I replaced the belt and even used belt dressing which I find is usually not effective. Still squeaky. ANY solutions?

Check the A/C belt, and also the idler pully, i would replace the tensioner/idler at the same time.

Had the same problem. Changed the belts and still had the noise. I had used belt dressing several times. Some how I had not gotten to the right part of the belt. I tried the dressing again and that fixed it. Might try it again.
