Just purchased, making repairs to pass safety in Missouri. I just cahnged the battery cables to 1/0 and now upon start-up and shut down I am getting a squeaking nosie. Everything was o.k. up till now.
I do not think that less resistant with cause that noise?
Any help? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I don't either. We need a better description of the noise to get an idea.

I will check that tomorrow.
Can a loose belt squeak on start up and shut down? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Definitly. The belt on these 6 cyls. engines don't have a lot of contact distance on the alt. They need to be pretty tight. The alt pulls a big load when you first start up to recharge the bat curent that was used by the starter.

everybody is ignorant @ something.the more we work together, the less ignorance there is floating around

Thank you for the help. | | |
