chirping?
My engine is making a "chirping" noise when idling and sometimes when I start it after sitting for a while. My initial thought is tensioner or serpentine belt...any ideas?

i isolated the noise with some belt dressing and yes it was the drive belt...i took it in and they replaced the belt but that night the noise was there on a start up, so i took it back in and they replaced the drive belt pulley or better know as the crankshaft pulley...
its been over a year and the noise hasnt come back...hope this helps
ps, i believe there is a service bulletin on this or something similar where they shim the pulley or something to that nature, if this is the case and you are out of warranty, they should honor it and fix at no cost

that sounds exactly like what's been going on with mine...I really appreciate it, I've got 6k more miles till 60k so I'm taking it in ASAP. Thanks again

There's a TSB for this. Always search the TSBs. Use the sticky at the top of the "Problems" forum to get to the TSBs.

There are some HFL TSBs as well. Check them out and see if they might apply. Good luck!
