Whats up everyone, I have searched the fourm and couldnt find another set up like mine to go by so I figured I would just start this and see if I could get some help. The truck is a 89 silverado it has edlebrock aluminum heads, air gap manifold, Accell distributer, light cam, holley carb just so we have an idea of what Im working with . The belt system runs from the crank to the power steering to the water pump and fan to the altenator and back to the crank all in one circle almost a diamond shape. It looks like there is a little wobble in the system and also sqeels when I hit the gas. I did tighten it up and the sqeel went away a little bit but still when I hit it hard it sqeels. I can use the same belt and go under the waterpump but it changes the direction of the water pump and from what I have read that would cause overheating and I want to stay away from that! So is the set up ok as is or should I change it, Im not looking to spend any money at the moment or I would spend a few bucks and get a sweet set up from jegs or summit but I just want to make sure its either ok or improve it. Thanks in advance for any help with it.

 

sounds like the belt needs replaced.......its probably streached and glazed.

 

Thanks for the advice, definitely a cheap enough solution and if it doesnt fix the problem then hey at least I have a new belt! Its funny Ive rode a lot of bikes that have belt drive and like you said the belt does stretch and I didnt even think of it on the car. Thanks again and I will update when I replace it.
