maxchevy Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I am experiencing what sounds like my belt squealing-chirping when I accelerate hard; the sound comes right after it shifts - typically first to second. My truck has not always made this noise maybe for the last 20k miles; I have put on a new belt since first hearing the noise and am still experiencing the noise, so I am not sure it is the belt. It just sounds like a belt noise and seems as though it comes from the engine. A typical driving scenario: Could be a from a stop or rolling start; 3/4 to full throttle, truck shifts hard, belt sound/chirping noise. I notice it more if I let off right at or before it shifts. Hoping this has happened to someone else as they would know what I am talking about; if not this is about the best detail I can provide. Thank you in advance for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb2big4u Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Goodyear Gatorback belts will solve your issue. I had the same, installed the gatorbacks and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmJake Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Goodyear Gatorback belts will solve your issue. I had the same, installed the gatorbacks and gone. I put a gator on the 96 and the next day the idler pulley froze. Shredded it. I was pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 +1 for the Gatorback belts, they do make the squeak disappear..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006SilverSS Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Another +1 for the Gatorback belt, I had the same issue after I installed the shift kit. Installed the Gatorback belt and no more crazy noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
