My airpump/ alt belt is squeakin...not at idel just when I start going not slipping just a consant high pitch squeak... I tried to tighen it, loosen it, belt dressing you name it... I have come to the concusion... the belt must die unless some one can give me some advice of how to stop and or kill the belt or just stop squeak...

 

Maybe the air pump or alternator or idler is actually what's screeching and its not the belt?

 

no cause when I put the dressing on it, the squeak go's away for a few hours...as I said the belt must die, I adjuted once again and started the 7 this moring back to a constant, as I said the belt must die.

 

just replace the belt

 

belt dressing is junk!

replacing the belt would be the best option but instead you could do the following:

while the engine is running (but still cold for safety reasons) spray some carb or brake cleaner to clean that gunk off the belt. Then lubricate the belt with white lithium or my favorite, silicone lubricant.

You may think this will cause slipping or that this seems like the exact opposite of the sticky belt dressing, but give it a try, it'll work. You may need to reapply (depending on the condition of the belt) but not nearly as often as with belt dressing, and there is much less mess.

 

^sweet sounds good to me

 

Yeah, just make sure to take care of that asap. If that belt heats too much while making the high pitched noise, it can break and cause a good bit of problems, most notably affecting your water pump function. I went ahead and replaced mine, and made sure everything was tightened to spec.

 

Aside from checking the belt, also look at all the pullies ands make sure there are no nicks, grooves, or other damage to them.
