Re: Wtf???

that happened to me as soon as the weather started getting warm. I used some belt dressing (its basically like a lube/adhesive) and it took care of it for me. Its a temporary fix but worth a shot.

Re: Wtf???

well, the belts are BRAND NEW! and they are pretty "Lubed" as they are... i think that is why they are squealing in the first place? i dont really know what else to do... but its really embarrasing when i start my car in a crowded parking lot...

Re: Wtf???

How tight are they? Take the belts between two pulleys and try "spin" the belt. Deflection should be no more/less than 90*. Adjusting accordingly.

Re: Wtf???

Yeah I have to tighten to poo poo out of mine to keep it from squeeling, and I have to keep tightening it every xxx miles to keep it quiet.

Re: Wtf???

Well if he said it was tight to spec, then I would take the tensioner pulley on the serpentine side and lube that bad boy up. I did it on my car and it fixed that problem, you have to slide the guide from behind the bracket....aww shit 4G63T in your bay. Well if it is a mechanicaltensioner pulley do it anyway. I promise it will work.
