Typically, the belt that squeals first thing in the morning is the alternator belt, as the alternator is under great load to recoup the battery from starting. It could be any of your belts, though. (As a general rule), if one is squealing, and it has been a year or more, replace them all while you have them off. They are pretty cheap, and can make you stand on the side of the road if they fail.

New noise today Howdy, When I was accelerating away from a stop sign this morning, I heard a high pitch short lived noise. Could it be a belt? Or the clutch? I only *hear* it in first and this morning is the first time I've heard it. Thanks -Matthew 84 wolfsy p.s., I'm off to Yosemite this weekend. neener neener neener :-) |
