Chevrolet: Squeaking sound on Chevy Malibu, intake manifold gasket, chevy malibu


Question
I took my 2003 Chevy Malibu in for overheating. They replace the intake manifold gasket for $537 and then I noticed a squeaking sound, it sounds like crikets. I took it back and they replaced the tension thing and a belt. Now it is still squeaking. It is not the brake sensor because I know what that sounds like and this is more like crikets as I am driving. Help!

   Wow I did not know it would cost that much for a intake gasket , but there is a lot of labor involved. I wonader if the noise is the belt tension wheel , the tension on  it is to keep the belt tight and it could be that , it could go away when the new belt wears in and if not you might wish to replace the tension unit if it gets real bad . I replaced the belt on my silverado and it to was making sounds like crikets (LOL) and it did go away after  100 miles or so.
