I have changed My Tensioner, the idler pulley and i dont run a ac belt so it couldnt be that it sounds like it is comming from the right driver side of the motor, and it starts whenever i accelerate and when i slow down and put it in nuetral it just quits i have no idea what it could be!!

Have you tried replacing the BELT?

slverbulletz06

Yup I replaced the belt

Try putting on a small amount of silicone on the belt and run it. If the noise goes away, then it's your belt.

If the noise is still there, try using a long screw driver and listen to the handle while you put the other end to where the noise might be (pulleys).

Well i did the screw driver thing u told me to do and the alternator and tensioner are just fine so im thinking it might be the water pump. Man its just one thing after another with this car i feel like i should just trade it in

slverbulletz06

Alright Guys i changed the water pump and it didnt go away

Did you put a Gatorback belt on?

slverbulletz06

no ac delco bu its a brand new belt, should i get a gator belt , some people say its more a vibrating noise

I put a Gator on mine and it stopped the squeaking. The belt I took off was new also, Put in the trunk for a spare.

Im getting a similar sound with my Vette but its kinda weird it will squeel a bit on and off but only at about 1500 rpms. above or below it goes away. I havent figuered wher its coming from or even if its the belt? But it sounds like a belt squeel. so If you figure it out Ide like to know what it was...thanks

slverbulletz06

Ill put one of those belts on and hope it works.

Mine Squeals in high rpms only! its pissin me off though bc i cant find what it is i probly bought every pulley u can and it still does it!

I had a small "chirp" at idle. I took it in and they replaced the alternator under warranty, but after driving it for less than 100 miles, it came back. I'm going to take it back in and will let you know what they find.

slverbulletz06

Sweet! I took a long screw driver and listened to the alternator and i couldnt hear a squeal but whenever i do just take the belt off and turn it and back and foward it kinda makes a squeal but i dunno lol

slverbulletz06

Due to EPA regulations the belt manufacturers have changed the compound of the rubber which cause most of the newer belts to make more noise. Dayco just came out with a new design with a patented "W" groove that they guarantee not to squeal, it also has their version of teflon in the belt. They look really nice.
