There's a pully bearing that's been chirping for about a week or so. None of the bearings are loose to the hand wiggle test.
Any help in identifying which one it is or eliminating which one its not, would be a huge help. Thanks in advance.

Most likely your idler pulley and it is an easy replacement on most engines.

Thank you

Take a spray bottle of water, squirt water on each pulley hub in turn, when the noise stops briefly you have found your culprit.
Usually idler, as ridgeline said.
Tensioner is also a likely suspect.GoneButNotForgotten, JolliRoger and feldsforever Thank this. -
Hmm I have plenty of water thank you.

A 3' rubber hose. One end to your ear the other by each pulley. This helps isolate the source.
Same as above.feldsforever and Hammer166 Thank this. -

Some noise you can start hearing midair with a hose.
Staff or rod works great pushed against the hard block or valve cover, trans case.feldsforever Thanks this. -
Just replace the idler pulley as a unit, it is also called a belt tensioner. These things have a life about 350k miles and really should be replaced with the second belt, which has a life about 150k miles
shatteredsquare and feldsforever Thank this.
