Serpentine Belt too tight?
I replaced my serpentine belt and now a hear I faint clunking every once and awhile from one of the pullies. Is is possible to make the belt to tight?

In the time that it took you to get on the computer and post this thread, you could have loosened your belt a tad to see if it made a difference... That's what I would suggest you do

It is very possible. But there must be a bearing that was already starting to go bad on one of you pulleys. If it were me I would remove the belt and check all of the pulleys for looseness or rough while spinning.
