3 different people all point to alternator.i may take it to toyota to diagnoses incest is still warrantied, let them earn their pay.

 

Fuckin auto correct, yes incest

 

this^^^^make sure belt is still on straight...and check the other pulleys

yes i have to check mine today if i have time mine is screaming like a virgin on prom night as well....
i smell a group buy

 

Sucks you guys have a serpentine belt. When I had a squeal after a Rausch trip I just started popping off belts till the noise went away. It's most likely an idler pulley since I believe all of the others don't have bearings in the pulley itself.

 

Is the idler pulley in the same area as the alternator?

 

Spray where exactly, on it, in it, where exactly please?


Oh yeah, I found my million candles

 

i still haz no money from you eddie



lol



you sure its the new alternator? im thinking that its prob what everyone else said...i had a bunch of funky noises (scott and anthony can tell ya) all of them went away after driving a lil bit, powerwashing the motor bay, and then driving again...might be a temporary fix for now but least i have nothing screaming

 

I'm gonna try e erything I can, if it is alternator, ur gonna have a credit coming back to cc. So let's see how this resolves. I have an inside guy at a Toyota dealership, soi may have them look at it as well

 

Careful, they might void your warranty. You have obviously swamped it at this point.

 

Def was not swamped, I'll take a pic under the hood n show ya, for 75k miles, it's just dirty under there

 

Lol.....everyone in here that comes to meets needs to pick up a Chilton or Haynes manual and KEEP it in their truck.

IMO that is by far the worst idea I have ever heard. We specifically talked about this at the meet. If anything wait for it to dry then spray it with compressed air. WD-40 will attract more dirt and water will be useless.

After cleaning the hell out of my truck last summer I noticed I had accidentally directly sprayed my pulleys while cleaning my radiator from the backside (couldn't see them). To this day they still squeek and I am waiting for them to blow up.

Lesson learned to stay slow in puddles unless you want pulley, alternator, and or starter issues.

 

you couldnt go any slower then i went throught the puddles and all my pulley are destroyed

 

Yeah,it's the fact they are unsealed and garbage, and apparently can happen from going through a flooded street, which I ave a to do before, But oh we'll, they sell sealed ones?

 

well when you go through deep ones it doesn't matter how slow you go

Yes.

Pulleys that is NOT alternators

 

were does one get sealed ones......
and i didnt go in to deep just a front wheel.....so idk......

 

True Scott, I ave the pic to prove it.

 

yea them jeeps that got the ranger unstuck said they had to break away from that meet..cuz it was moving to slow
