Installed a new Belt... Squeaks like crazy now~!
Anyone ever had a squeaking belt that wouldn't stop... Its on correct. I've Degreased it, Washed it, Belt dressing a little, Belt Dressing a lot... it's driving me mad!
Any suggestions? |
try sprayin a little WD-40 on it sometimes that seems to help have done that alot on belts helps alot better than the belt dressing the dressing seems to just gunk stuff up. Give the WD-40 a shot may work for ya
|
At this point I'm willing to try anything - legal or otherwise~! :scare2:
|

What brand belt did you buy? The cheap crap belts do this! Try a gator back or Cummins belt! The WD-40 Just makes it slippery for a while then it's back Try a can of brake clean to clean it off then try to see if it's the belt or a bearing going bad. Take the belt of and spin everything see if something hangs up or is rough everything should turn smoothly!

Please read my post and answer my questions and try what I asked. Don't put sand on it! That will just find it's way to your bearings! No worries!:pca1:

Simple stuff here. You have a bearing goin bad in somethin. The old belt was stretched enough that it didn't put any tension on the bad pulley and now that it's a new belt it's puttin tension on it again. I've always found the simplest way to find the bad bearing is with those stupid little $2 mechanic stethoscopes. Withe truck runnin, very carefully work the probed from pulley to pulley, when you find the right one you'll know, no guessin required.
