When I accelerate even slightly in my '94 XL I hear a chirping sound.
Like a bird. It goes away immediately when I ease off the accelerator
pedal. Doesn't affect performance, just annoying and maybe something on
it's way out? Any ideas/suggestions appreciated. thanks.

Very interesting that this appears next to the belt tensioner. In my 97
the chirping sound went away when I replaced the belt tensioner.

Yeah, I suspect the tensioner but I replaced it about 30,000 miles ago
(when the truck had about 40,000 miles on it). Do these things typically
have a short life span?
