I agree with this dude ^
Mine worked for about a week.
My noise is identical. It would not let me post the audio file but exactly the same.
I have a 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie with the Cummins I bout back in October. It developed the squeak during the past winter as well. It would go away after warming up. Then it starting squealing more this Spring and never stops. It is not loud, but it is embarrassing to drive around a truck with 3,500 miles on it in this condition. The truck is currently at the dealer getting the tensioner and belt replace. Should be returned this afternoon. Fingers crossed.
Hummm...... Throwing the same parts off the parts shelf on them hasn't seemed to be a permanent fix, but good on you for making them do it. Such a strange malady, Millions and Millions of serpentine systems on the road that don't make noise, and this one does with a vengeance. Someday someone will figure out exactly what's going on, but till then? It bums me yours got worse, I was kind of hoping it just would work itself in, and go away.
Unfortunately, as evidenced in this thread, the likelihood of the squeak returning is very high. I replaced my tensioner and belt with Gates parts and it only resolved for a short period. The only thing that has consistently provided relief is the dielectric grease.
I totally agree with you guys in the fact that it will come back. My plan is to keep going back. Well technically. The dealer comes to the plant where I work, pick it up, take it to repair, and bring it back. I am only out the diesel from the 40 mile round trip. I figure sooner or later they will get tired of working on the same thing over and over and maybe find a fix.
