[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 437366, member: 18629"] Thanks, I'll dig a little deeper and try a few more things. Something I came across is the PS pump has a plastic pully which can crack and cause squealing. Dorman has a steel replacement for $16 so that may be a cheap fix as some reviews say it stopped the noises. I also have a can of belt dressing and soap to try. All accessory pullies spin freely by hand and without noise. Starting the engine briefly without the belt is quiet. If only there was a way to test each one individually pully with tension on the belt. I did find a video where a guy tried using tie wraps as an emergency belt and it worked LOL, I did try the old belt which only chirped/squealed when starting and it screamed louder than ever the entire time. Maybe I should have bought the $200 belt and not the $20 belt. Thanks for the help, I'll report back. [/QUOTE]
