Just because the belt is squeaking doesn't mean its the tensioner thats bad. The belt could be bad and have a glaze on it.

when my belt tensioner went bad it was more of a chattering sound. when i first hear it i almost thought it was clutch chatter until i actually got close to it. however it did happen after i put my zzp set up on. but i was still on warranty so i just brought it in the dealership and told em to replace the tensioner. they did it, no more chattering. i was kinda scared they would say something about the stage 2 belt and silver pulley haha not one word
