More belt squealing....
So I had really bad belt squeal/whine at 5K+ RPMs and I went out to Able Chevrolet and they discovered my water pump was leaking onto the A/C belt which was causing the whine. So I replaced the pump and A/C belt and the whine seemed to be gone. But now I am noticing a very slight whine in 1st or 2nd gear at somewhere over 5,500 RPMs. It doesn't seem to happen every time, and it is very brief/subtle. Is some belt whine on these cars just considered normal? Or do I need to make another trip to get this fixed?
I am a bit frustrated at this point because I thought it was fixed, and the idea of driving 4 hours (2 hours each way) to get this fixed again is annoying me.
I am thinking that maybe they didn't clean the pulley well enough and some coolant residue is still there...or?
