Squeaky belt

[findmypath]

Hey everyone,

 

This morning I started my car and the belt were sqeaking like crazy....what would be the best quick fix for this issue. I do realize that I might need to look into replacing the belts but for now what would work to quite the suckers down.

 

03 LE with 24000 miles

 

thanks for the help

Belt dressing helps. It's available at most automotive stores, and some bigger chain type stores. Don't know what you have in your area.

i bet you have to replace them pronto... they are probably stretched and thus making noise... tightening them will work only very temporarily..

If I have 24000 miles on my LE should it be time to replace the belt??????

If so, then would that be covered under warranty???

Shouldn't the life span of the belts be longer than 24000 miles????

 

thanks

i thought you had 240k miles on the truck.. sorry.. sure they should last a bit longer... just check their tension and see if that is the deal.. belt dressing may just do the trick.. it's hard to tell without sweeing the darn things..

The V-belts tend to stretch a small amount over time...

 

Might want to try to adjust the tension and see if that helps...but don't get it too tight or you'll snap it. -thnkboutit-
