This spring- when I finally was able to drive the truck, my alt. belt had a nasty squeeel when you first started it- once it was running, it stopped- but anyway we changed the belt. Got the belt as tight as it will go....anyway- it still would squeel a tiny bit when you started it up- with the carb being screwed up I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running until it warms up, then runs like a charm...it would stop squeeling before it warmed up...if it was warm- the engine- it wouldn't squeel at all.......like when I got to a store, went in, came out and started it- it was fine... but if it sat for more than a few hours- squeeellll...
this winter- I have been starting the truck every third day or so, and letting it run for about 1/2 hour, without back brakes, I only drive it down the road, and turn around..(side road- and only go 3 houses down, stay in 2nd, not going more than 5-8 mph..)...the last few days I have had to start it every day and move it because of snow.......and it hasn't squeeled at ALL...does the cold weather make the belt tighter???? I can't figure out why it would do it all summer, and fall, even after a new belt, and now that it's 20' outside- it doesn't do it....
