i believe the source of my squeaking was from the smog pump, as it reached the height of its annoyance last night before seizing up and burning/snapping the belt, this was on the 57 freeway through placentia/orangethorpe ave. am i supposed to be able to turn the smog pump pulley freely? it is locked stiff at the moment...</P>


what are the effects of bypassing(for now) the smog pump on a stock SD motor, and whats an easy quick way of doing it?</P>

u can bypass it with a shorter belt, it just gives u a little more power i believe its the 765k6 kelly springfield belt and autozone

the pump should spin freely. I bypassed mine. If you are worried about emmisions it willpass the tail pipe test with the pump eliminated. they could give you a hard time ifthe pump is not physicly there. if you already put a new pump in just run the short belt. The connect the long belt when you get it inspected<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

the pump did not spin freely, thats why it ate up my belt.....and i thought the water pump as making noise this whole time...
