squeal from the engine

my 97 squeals at startup, but only for a short time....any ideas on the cause?

 

Mine squeals for about 30 seconds, then stops.

 

Could be a worn belt or a loose belt tensioner.

 

belts atr too tight
loosen the one thats squeling and proublem fixed

 

Check the belts for proper tension....

Find a long length of belting that's open (no pulleys) -If you grab the edges with your thumb & finger, you should be able to twist them perpendicular to its original position.

Whatever you do, don't spray anything on the belts or pulleys.

Check the belts for wear, cracks, etc.

 

i'll check'em

 

I just got that fixed on my taco yesterday. Mine would squel really loud for like 2mins...it was cracks in my belts and From mud riding alot. Cost me 150$

 

Yea deffintly a belt

 

squeal is gone......thank you all. this site rocks!!
