Outrageous belt scream

I have a 2017 TRD OR and at high rpm it sound as though the belt is squealing, and by squealing I mean SCREAMING... help

 

Is the ac on? Maybe the water pump? How does the alternator smell?

 

What are we supposed to do to help?

 

Good questions above. Start by eliminating the major players AC compressor, alternator and any belt pulleys.

 

High rpm? Like 6k?

 

Summon Rachel at Applebee's because her boyfriend Josh, well he's a lube tech at Kia and knows a few things about the Sedona and what soccer moms crave. If you were thinking it's Jif Peanut Butter you'd be wrong. It's the little things he does like vacuuming out all the Cherrios and Goldfish from under the seats that make her day. Josh reminds her of the days when she was a vibrant woman and so full of life and when her husband use to do the little extras. Now her husband can't even wear basic dad attire on the weekends like green NB shoes and straight leg relaxed jeans from Kirkland.

 

Spray some WD40?

 

Sounds like it could be a bad idler pulley.

 

If it's still within the bumper to bumper warranty, just take it in and let the dealer diagnose it. Could be a bad pulley bearing anywhere along the belt loop, could be a misaligned belt, could also be a degraded belt (due to oil contamination, etc.)...

Typical DIY tips if your are out of warranty:

 

Yeah 2004...most of us don’t have vehicles that old.

 

Read the post brother.

 

You can’t spot a troll brother?

 

Does it sound like Dio Y/N

 

Thanks for the input guys, I was just too lazy to check. Popped the hood this morning and it has the classic idler belt wobble, doesn’t look too hard to change, but if anyone has I would love to hear any helpful tips.

 

2017? Still be under warranty? Take it to the dealer.

 

It’s just out of the bumper to bumper (of course)
