It could be the tensioner (20% chance) or it could be the harmonic balancer (80% chance). My first vette started out with just a chirp - the wobble in the harmonic balancer was so bad it screwed up the water pump pulley and the tensioner pulley.

Dayum! My 06 just turned over 68,000 and has NO wobble or squeak. What if I head out on a 4,000 mile trip this summer? Damn GM Inc should be paying for this!

Good to know, thats one of the best prices I've seen posted, probably the best considering the oil change is included. I'll be looking for that number if mine packs it in once my warranty is over.
