Fireman31 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) most likely the belt, but it could be caused by a components bearings going bad(i.e. water pump, alternator).......is it the original belt?

DGIEPSS Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 you can try spraying a little silicone on it to see if the noise goes away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montanass Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 just change the belt.. its quick, easy and most often done only when there is a problem. IMO... i would change the belt every 45-50k miles just to prevent any mishaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badkarma Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Goodyear Gatorback belts are your friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Before you install that new Goodyear Gatorback belt, try turning each of your accessory pulleys by hand & listen for that noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1booth Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 yea ill play with it, hopefully its just the belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Could just be the idler pulley squeeking a little like when it first starts up... might just need to regrease that. New belt couldnt hurt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
