my belts squeal real bad when i start my car form a cold start. i just replace my belts and RRM crank pulley at 30,000 and i 'm at like 32,000

i think it's the ac belt becuase that'll squeal sometimes witht he a/c on

is it because it's too loose or too tight?

 

When you put on a new belt it will expand a little when it gets worn in, just go in and tighten em up again, should stop

 

Belts are supposed to have a certain amount of deflection, but I doubt 99% of people use one when replacing belts. But I'd say tight 'um up a bit a see if that fixes it...

 

i have the same problem, i changed out my belts and then a couple of days later they started squealing, i just need to tighten em up a bit, its a pretty common thing

 

My alternator belt squeals sometimes. I need to tighten it up a little but I am lazy today.....maybe tomorrow. lol

 

my exact attitude toward the situation.

 

Guess my workmanship is spot on, cuz I've had no squeal at all! Holla!

 

both belts?

 

Test the deflection of each belt first; tighten whichever one is the most loose and see if that fixes it.

 

and how would i do that?

 

ok nws up date belts were bad from mit, kinda pissed now but hope they take it back
