Scotty,
Love your videos and what you do to help us all! 2008 Toyota Corolla, 125K miles. No codes. Changed the serpentine belt and tensioner from a Gates "kit" that included both about a year ago. Now on cold start up there is a squealing/squeaking noise that goes away once the car warms up. Could it be the idler? Water pump? Something else? How can I figure out what it is? Do you ever spray/lubricate the tensioner and if so, with what?
Thanks!

It may be the idler pulley. Did it squeal before you replaced the belt? I'm pretty sure my '99 Ranger still has the original idler pulley, though, and Toyotas are much better made than Ford. It has almost 300k miles.
Maybe try an OEM belt?
