I did my Steeda UDP’s a week ago, and just noticed last night that there is a high pitched sound (kinda like if you were to rub you finger around the rim of a crystal chalice) coming from the front. (Prolly a pulley or something.) Has any one ran into this or does anyone know what is causing this?

Thanks!

mine have a sight wine but nothing like you described, make sure you belts not to tight. it should give about 1/2 and inch.

Thanks - I'll check it out today. I'm actually still running the stock H20 pump pulley, as I have the legacy (1996 - mid-2001) H20 pump and pulley on my 2002 (??? Thanks, Ford![:@]). Steeda is sending me the correct one this week....

It has to be a belt issue if you only changed 2 of the 3 pulleys. The UD crank pulley is smaller, and the other two are larger so that there is no change to the belt size. If you still have the stock water pump pulley on there, the stock belt might me slipping.

I can't believe you used the word "chalise" LOL.


J/K - does the noise happen all the time or only when the A/C is on?

Well, I've only run the AC a couple of times this week and the time that I noticed the chalise noise I was not running the AC. I have not heard it since (Friday night). I did have to replace the belt (bout an inch smaller) as the stocker was WAY too loose and would slip right off. If I hear it again, I will pop the hood and fully investigate....

My new belt is doesn't work to well[:@] It freakin rubs against the block at the tensioner pulley. I think I too need a shorter belt........didn't realize I would need it with the steeda pulleys

I didn't change out my belt with my steedas and no rub or noise here at all.

^^^^^^^^^ditto^^^^^^^

One pulley is smaller and the other two are larger than the originals. Overall travel length of the belt remains unchanged.
