How to fix a Squealing Serpentine Belt on your Car or Truck
Фильм және анимация
Here are the parts I used:
Gates Belt:
amzn.to/3UsquK5
Tensoner:
amzn.to/3hgI6dy
Or - Belt and Tensioner Kit:
amzn.to/3DJaxst
Does your vehicles fan belt squeal when your first start your car or truck? Even worse, does the squealing sustain itself for the entire duration of your drive? Tune in as Ed Gasket addresses what causes this problem and how to fix it!

You should use the wix deep dish filter for these, they are the best drop in filters for the 5.9 cummins. Or you can get an oem one that is also a 4in version just like the wix.

They GOTTA redesign those things.
I bought new belts and removed the old belts only to discover they were like new, not glazed or cracking. I put the old belts back on and adjusted the tension. No more squealing. I also removed both tensioners, and the bearings were smooth and quiet, so I put them back in. In fact, I took pictures of the bearing numbers, because buying bearings is much cheaper than buying another tensioner. It is also more 'environmentally friendly'. LOL.

Just used a shorter belt after bypassing the a/c and replaced the tensioner, water pump, and idler pulley. Now it squeaks like a banshee for first minute and then shuts up completely. Might try conditioner and/or the Gates belt ( darn pretroleum based products $$)......

you can also change the direction of the belt, that may solve your squealing noise.

So is it the tensioner or the belt causing the noise? I installed the same belt, after the tensioner crapped out and installed the new tensioner only to still have a horrible squeak.
@EdgasketGarage

If the tensioner isn’t providing enough tension the belt will slip on all of the pulleys and squeak. Otherwise one of the pulleys is bad and also squeaking. I’d take the belt off and try to spin each pulley. You can typically feel the culprit by the way it spins.
I have the same sound and have replaced the belt a number of times it’s not getting destroyed I bought the belts at Napa I have new tensioner new idler new fan clutch and still it’s hit or miss some days it does some days it don’t and I’m drove should I try to get the green gates belt ? The guys at Napa said this is the same one but it’s not green

When you take old belt off; could you just cut the belt?

It's better practice to get a wrench on the tensioner because you're going to have to do it later anyway.
This alternator ...looks old and corroded ... Perhaps it needed some lubrication on its bearings ... Because as it is ,it might cause too much drag and might require more torque to work adequately ... Same thing perhaps with other components ... Like oil pump, water pump etc ... Nice video btw

I just came back from 6 week holiday and I've noticed a squealing noise from under the hood of my car when I turn on the A/C. In normal mode with A/C off the noise isn't present, but as soon as I turn it on, the squealing noise appears. What could've been the cause for this problem to occur and what is the fix? Keep in mind my car is only 3 years old (2020) and it only has 73000 km on the clock (about 45 000 miles)...
