So I'm guessing it's something that's driven by the serp belt. Seemed like maybe the tensioner. However a few months ago I replaced the alternator could that have gone bad already? (I've had my share of new replacement parts fail in short time). The tensioner wheel is not quiet when I turn it but not so bad you'd say that it is bad. Do they still make the tensioner?
Any ideas/suggestions on how to proceed with the troubleshooting?

If the tensioner makes any noise at all it's more than likely thats the problem.
