Belts squeaking.
my belt sqeaks only early in the morning and at night thats it...its alittle cold but the tensioner is good and the belt is fine...the alternator is fine...any ideas why this happens...it happens when i come to a complete stop than after i go for a short distance it stops...
Since I purchased the car December 2nd, I never actually tested the a/c thoroughly. I mean, I turned it on and it blew cold air, but I wasn't really focused on that since I was behind the wheel of a Z28 for the first time in nearly a decade. Anyway, I started diagnosing it since it may be needed soon and noticed the clutch doesn't engage. That was a week or so ago and yesterday, I started it up and sprayed some PB blaster onto the alternator pulley, then the a/c pulley. That stopped the squeak (temporarily)and just to make sure I sprayed the a/c pulley again and sure enough that looks to be my culprit. Glad it was the second pulley I tried and I didn't have to spray them all with that stuff. I have a compressor from a 1994 Z28, but it's been out of the car for about 5 years now. I can't imagine they're all that expensive, but I'm not gonna buy it if I don't need it! Anyway, will it hurt the car to drive it like that? Not that I haven't been, but it's not my daily driver. Plus I have T-tops so a/c seems unnecessary. I'm just glad I found the cause of the noise, not just because it was annoying, it was making me question my purchase. Anyway, enough rambling- going to bed.
