idler pully squeakin!
only squeaks under idle, but it was replaced less then 5k miles ago, (but not with a direct replacement, one that was "close").
got some HEAVY rain and had to drive about 50 miles, it stopped squeakin in the rain and for the next two days! but not its back. whats everyones thoughts? imma head to autozone and get a new one.
Gonna go on a 300 mile camping journey tomorrow, and i figure as long as i keep it floored it'll be fine! (i kid, i kid)

it's your tensioner. whats happening is it isn't sittin on the belt right. it is sitting at a warped angle cuz it loosened up in the spring assembly. it's from takin the belt on and off alot or it could be just old. replace the whole tensioner assembly, not just the pully, and the squeal and the unexplained noises you may or may not hear will go away. mine did this to and i didn't replace it, got so bad even on a dry day

inside of the tensioner assembly there is a coil spring that wears out and causes it to coil the wrong way. like a rivet or something that doesn't keep it all together. so it could theoretically come completely apart. there is no way to fix the tensioner exept to replace the whole thing. it's only 50 bucks, one bolt in the center that mounts it right up.
