feerocknok Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Maybe the bearing in the alternator. It's not like the belt slipping, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I've found that a bar of soap works better/longer than belt dressing for silencing the squeak in my van. Do make sure that the belt isn't too loose or too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 when this happened to an XJ I had it was the bearing going bad in the alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have it going on right now with mine and the bearings in my alternator are shot. A good way to test this out would be to turn your lights, heater, and any other power accessories you have and see if it gets worse. Mine seems to do it mostly when I am running my elec. fan, The fan draws like 30amps because it is a high performance model, but this puts a load on the alternator and then causes the bearings to get sticky and the belt to slip. If you are gonna replace the alternator go with Powermaster you can get a 100amp alt. for a little over $100 and it is all new construction.

87manche Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have an annoying squeaking noise that disapears if I rest my foot on the clutch. :hmm: that's the plastic bushings. A bit of silicone spray on those goes a long way. Mine started squeaking wen it got cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feerocknok Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Because no one seems to carry rebuild kits for alternators anymore, you need to buy a new alternator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
