Ok so I have this annoying loud squeak coming from somewhere on my belt drive system. So far today, I sprayed belt spray that made it sounded worse. Sounded like a crumbling trash rolling down the street as I drove home. So I replaced the tensioner and idler pulley. Hamster is still there. What could it be? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

What truck is this in? More specifics too.

 

im more amused by the claimed dyno numbers.


change the idler pulley.

 

Lmfao, ya but it says he changed it and tensioner.

 

run a bar of soap on the belt.

 

I had this on my 08' silverado
it was the idler pulley and tensioner
i tried just changing the pulleys but that didnt help so I changed the entire tensioner arm and it went away..

 

It's the 08 SD. Anyways I bought a belt on my way to work. Maybe that will fix it but I doubt it. Anyways, on LS1s, I remember the crank bolt needing to be changed on some members cars. Would this be the case here? Ive hit a folk on the road to solve this. Next move would be to change the compressor I guess. That would suck thou on account of the whole AC bs. I also have this ticking noise on the valve train I hope that's just idk normal. My LS1 had a noisy valve train.

As for the "claimed" numbers, when the tuner and I went for a drive he had the laptop connected and he said the graph showed 400/419ish on a spirited pass. I can say it's faster than my LS1 and my new camaro. I can't get anyone to want to race me either. So hey what can I say.....
