squealing sounds suck
Ok, well i had a squealing noise coming from the engine when i'd give it gas a while back, and i've been running it like this for a while now.. my dad checked it out, and said it was the fan clutch, so i buy a new direct drive fan and put it on, start it up and it still squeals.. so we take the belt that drives the alternator off, and see if that does it, and surely enough, it doesnt squeal anymore.. go to the parts store and buy a new alternator, put it on, and it still squeals.. the belt isnt lined up, because the bracket on the head thats holding the alternator isnt right, so i think i need a new bracket of some sort.. if anyone has an idea of what i need or a pic of what you have on yours, lemme see if you could or would, i'd appreciate it.. by the way its a 327, i dont know what year it is.. the truck originally came w/ a 454..
so i'm pretty much lost until i can find out what bracket i need that will push the bottom of the alternator out a lil further to aline the belt, etc... thanks, Jeff |
