Serpentine belt problem!!
I have replaced the belt two times now and the tensioner pulley onceand the belt is squealing bad again....how do i figure out what pulley is causing a new belt to go bad after a couple weeks? has anyone else had this problem?
squeal/ screech?? or squeek/ chirp???......make sure the a/c compressor bearing isn't locking up or the smog pump locking up if they both spin freely.. try a goodyear gatorback belt
ahhh ha then that may be your problem.. you don't have the factory routing and therfore the proper tension may not be being applied ... do you have a smog elimintator idler pulley?? and or a p/s relocation kit added??
ive had, and am still having, a buch of problems with my accessory drive...odds are, your belt is too big..thats what it was with me..ist still squeeling now, and my belt is too big, so my tensior is out of range..
the p/s pump is in the same spot...i only have a ac elim bracket no smog bracket...i kno the belt is too big n tensioner out of range but b4 i put on this belt the other one i had was good and tight but then it went bad so i got this beltbut they gave mea bigger one...i guess ill jus have to live with it till i put on the smog and ac...the ac eliminator bracket does seem to be a little misaligned...would that cause it to keep going bad?
