where is the squealing coming from!!?
my truck has started to squeal randomly, sometimes really loud and sometimes i can barely hear it. i pulled over and popped the hood while it was really loud and couldn't tell exactly what was making the noise. it's definitely somewhere in the belt area but not sure it's the belt itself. my co-worker thinks it's the water pump. any advice is much appreciated!

22re? 3vz? |
Sounds like a loose belt. Tighten them up and see if it goes away. If it don't then it could be a number of things including replacing the belt(s) if needed. Not on that list would be the water pump. But depending on which engine you're talking about it could be coming from a bearing in that general area. So V6 or 4 cyl.?

Let me guess too.... I say tensioner.....???
What engine...year...recent work ? One thing I would try is take off a belt and see if it stops...help eliminate some causes. |
sorry, it's a 94 4cyl 4x4 p-up. and yes i recently put a new alternator on it. so yeah i had to mess with one of the belts. i just ordered a new water pump anyway cuz it seams to be running a little hot lately and i've never replaced it since i bought it 6 years ago.

Ahhhh Haaaaaaa!!!! LOL
I bet your alt belt is loose or the new alt is losing a bushing. |

The squeal is probably going to be the water pump, when i got my 4Runner it had a loud squeal also, so i replaced the water pump and no more squeal.

I'm thinking the same for my own truck.

You can use a piece of hose as a listening device to narrow the noise down .

If it is the tensioner , pull it off and it has a replaceble bearing in it. Mine made a ˟˟˟˟ty squealing noise and the bearing was shot, maybe $ 8.00 at the parts house.

Finding it before you fix it is good. Changing parts at random .... |
