Hey guys, Just curious if anybody else has heard the engine almost "squealing" for a short bit (1-5 min) when starting engine cold. Seems to go away after it warms up and have no issues with engine temp after 5 hours of running. Is this something I should be concerned about? As always thanks for the feedback in advance.

Likely as simple as a slipping belt issue. Check the pulleys. Check for the belts for condition and proper tension. If the belts are are old/worn/cracked replace with new and tension properly. While the belts are off turn the water pump and alternator pulleys to check for any obvious bearing problems. ------------- Jim '06 216 '98 SN 176 |

Sounds like a loose belt. While it is squealing pour a little water on first one belt and then the other. Belts squeal when they are slipping, a little water will lubricate the belt and it will quiet until the water wears off. ------------- |

Besides belt tension, check the alignment of the sheaves too.

apolonie: We know what you meant, but it's a "Pro Boss" not a "Big Boss". Sorry for being picky. Well, not really. We are glad you found this site, though and hopefully you get the squeal sorted out. JQ

| haha yes totally correct, don't know where I got "big boss" from. When you guys check your belts for tension do you use a tool or just by hand? Can't say I feel confident in knowing if the belts depress by a 1/4" or not. |
