Nate1647545505 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well, Among the 5000 bugs that are coming out of the wood work, is a loud as screeching noise (belt noise) My alternator decided to take a dump on me, so, replaced that using the alternator pulley that came with the remaned` unit. Now i have this terriblely loud belt screeching noise. It comes in and out idle, very appearent if I stab the gas. I figure something, maybe a tensioner is binding? The associate at NAPA wanted me to buy belt dressing when I bought the alternator? I figured it was just a sales pitch, maybe I'm wrong on that. The engine does slow down, like something is binding though. What say you experts of sie belts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Do NOT buy belt dressing. That shit is nasty and will not come off of your engine. With the engine running, get a bar of soap and rub it on the underside of the belt. If the belt quiets down, it needs replaced. I would recommend a gatorback. Good luck. Oh, and BTW, PM me your new #, we tried to call you on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
