We had the same issue I didn't have the time to do the insane amount of work it took to replace the tensioner myself so I sent to have it replaced at a ship 250$ and I myself replaced the 2 non tensioner idlers and it was still screaming so I had to pull off the alternator clutch or decoupler and replace and bingo squeak gone. Thnx forums for the help

I posted previously about a whining noise that I could not get fixed. It ended up being the alternator decoupler or clutch. I don't know why in the workd anybody would want to install an extra part on an alternator but I swapped it out the wine is gone. A good tip on a 2013 journey se. It's so much easier if you just remove the alternator then the pulley no special tool needed hex bit and air impact. All I ended up using. I just wanted to share, thanks guys.

I am currently having very possibly the same issue did you ever get it figured out? I think it's the p.s pump pulley bearings going dry but I can not tell where the sound originates even with a stethoscope it is very difficult to tell where it's coming from. I have a 2013 dodge journey se 2.4l. It is all original. Barely had to have any work until now but I just rolled past the 100k and definitely need to fix this b4 it becomes more. I hope this 1 second video clip loads I had to cut it down but the sound is very obvious. I wanted to upload something for the sound, thnx in advance. I would appreciate any advice 20231126_151634_1.mp4
