Default Found my sqeeling problem yesterday.

Well more and more my car has been making a sqeeling noise upon start up. Then i had my AC on the other day and it sounded like metal to metal contact so i shut off the AC and it went away. So i went home to isolate and pull off the ac belt and i thought it was good. Next morning still had the metal on metal sound for a second and than it was gone. So i got home and pulled the belt (main drive belt) and as im taking it off i can see my underdrive pulley spinning Well this makes perfect sense to me as to why im getting all the loud noise. It literally spins freely from the inside of the pulley. I tore it apart tonight and have one coming tomm to install it and get the car on the road. I have another underdrive coming from Canada but i needed the car on the road so i grabbed up a stocker from the auto parts store. And it also gives me an excuse to throw on my new vararam as well Jay

Always good to find the source of a squeal, squeak or a rattle.
