Obnoxious Squeal HELP!!! [Video Uploaded] ***SOLVED***

[Scottydoggs]

I'm telling you it's the belt it can "look" fine but still be bad. That definitely sounds like belt slipping. I replaced one on a car a while back that "looked" fine but had a belt squealing issue and a new belt fixed it right up. But you can waste money on an alternator if you want.

he is right about the belt. they do have little gauges to see if the grooves have worn past where they are effective.

when you cleaned it, did you see any missing grooves or large cracks?

No i didnt see any cracks whatsoever, no missing grooves either, though the sides on certain parts of the belt was kinda worn a bit. I guess ill try getting a new belt, worse case scenario is that it wont work and ill have to take the damn thing off, take it back to get my money back and play hell getting the old one back on and try something else. By the way, i do have about 155k miles on the car and i got the car at 133k miles.....Will let you guys know sometime tomorrow
