Squeal Like A Pig Boy!

I put TRU Power Pulleys on my EX Coupe and it squeals bad every time I have my AC on. HOW CAN I STOP THIS?!?! I feel very ghetto.

Probably too loose. Slippage makes it squeel.

belt is loose 99% of the time. mine started squeaking, found out the alternator adjuster bolt was about to fall off. also fyi, AEM alternator pulley destroyed my alternator in a few months. power steering pulley is okay to have, it wont do anything. nice bling in the bay

My belt squeaks to. Is it just a matter of tightening this bolt? Where is it?

Re: Squeal Like A Pig Boy!

which belt, the alternator one? there is an adjustment for it yeah. you can push on the center of the belt to see how much play it has. it should be fairly tight and not saggy.

Re: Squeal Like A Pig Boy!

I had my pulley kit on for over a year. Never had any problems with the alternator frying.
