sully Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Check on pulley alignment. If one is off even slightly it will rub the side of the belt and cause it to squeel. If you don't have a laser alignment tool you can take a piece of sand paper on a wrench (or stick what ever keeps you hands away from the belt) and put it on the side of the belt while the engine is running. If your sound goes away while the sand paper is on the belt you know it is the belt rubbing on the lip of a pulley. You can use belt dressing on one belt at a time to see what belt is making the noise. 2003 Ford F-150 Reg Cab layin body on 26's 2003 Tahoe 3/5 drop on 26's with a 408cid Supercharged engine. 2011 Camaro 2SS 2005 VW GTI Stage II ECU, CAI, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, lowered 2" on some plastidipped 18's 2003 Hayabusa lowered, stretched, cams, nitrous and custom paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkolfo4 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sure it is the belt? Could be the tensioner bearing. Spray WD40 on the back side of the tensioner bearing and see if it quiets. Not too much, because if it is not the problem, don't want WD40 all over it. 3 belts - take them off and run one at a time to see which one is causing the noise. Won't hurt to run it for 15-20 seconds to test. With the engine cold is best when you have the water pump disconnected.

kirill007 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 narrowed it down to my alt guess the bearings on the alt are shot! will be getting new H/O alt to replace Make sure you won't put too much pressure on the belt if you install the new alt, it has a specific pressure, it should be at that tension and not above or below. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
