Any frontier owners having issues with their belt tensioner squealing? I’ve had to replace mine twice now and I’m only at 35K!

Any rubber dust/shavings? if so something misaligned. A washer behind my alternator shimmed mine back inline and fixed repeated belt squeal. That was on a Cummins Diesel I installed in a old Chevy 4X4 though. Is the close or far side of the belt shiny?
Spray of most sorts will quiet it of course, but a bad bearing might also cause alignment issue and squeal. And too tight belt tension cause issues in time. But that was usually cured with a spring style unit.
I know its tight in there, but a ruler or straight edge accross the pulleys can give you some idea of the surface plane of the pulley's.
Good luck!

I would say twice in 35k is excessive. Did you do oem or aftermarket? It's hard without me looking your rig over but that does seem odd. Although a few people on here seem to have an issue like yours. Leads me to believe an issue in manufacturing

Dang that's crazy. Wonder if there are different parts numbers for a superseded updated tensioner. I'm praying for you ❤❤❤
