i recently replaced the alternator, belt, idler pulley, and tensioner on my 2000 s10 blazer with 120,000 mi(4.3 vortec) but it continues to screech loudly when accelerating. the power steering pulley has some play in it. can this be causing the belt to make the screeching noise and can the pulley be tightened or replaced? what else may be causing this?

Tere souldn't be any play in the pulley. The Tensioner may be weak and or the serp belt may be stretched also.
