Replacing harnonic balancer on 03 vette
Earlier this week developed squeak especially upon acceleration. Replaced idler and tension pulleys (all 4) and squeak continues. Next, harmonic balancer? Insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dean

A squeak can also be caused by an inner or outer washer on any of the pulleys rubbing the pulley. In my case, an original inner washer was incompatible with an aftermarket pulley and rubbed.
Use an automotive stethescope to pinpoint.

Why are you just throwing parts at it? Pinpoint the problem then replace the bad component... As suggested above, get a mechanic's stethoscope.
the belt can also cause a squeek. If no one component sounds louder than the others in the stethoscope it's probably the belt
