Squeaking pully I believe the tensioner, just making sure

As the topic states, I have the most annoying squeak coming from the serp belt. It definetly sounds like the tensioner, but I just want to make sure before ordering.
Another thing: If this is the problen, which one have people used. I definetly want one with a sealed ball bearing. Where did you go to get it and about how much was it??
Thanks,
Matt

I had the same squel, then it got worse, then one day pop! while driving. The car over heated, the battery light started blinking and everything else the belt drives wasnt driving anymore. I got the dealer part for like 130 if i`m remembering right. It comes with the whole unit including the metal piece instead of just the pulley itself so its sooo much more easier to change it your self, only 3 bolts. Change the belt while your at it too. They also made improvement on the new pullies from what the dealer guy told me. Cant go wrong with oem, change it asap before you pay for the tow truck. Good luck http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Thanks for the info. I was really looking for an aftermarket one, but if the dealership fixed the problem maybee I will use it. My issue with it is that it started happening at 22K miles. A little to soon for my tastes.
Anyone else?? I know Ive heared of the aftermarket ones, I just cant find the post or remember where/who sells them.
