Engine makes a screech sound when I turn it off...

[AWillis]

Does any know what it may be. When I shut off the engine it some times makes a screech sound like a belt slipping or something like that. It is a 01' with 23,000 miles. Thanks in advance for any help given.



Best Wishes,



Austin

It's perfectly normal - the compression of the engine stops it faster than the accessory drive can stop, and the serpentine belt chirps. If you want to get rid of the chirp (a lot of us don't mind it - it's part of the personality of the Cummins), try a replacement Goodyear Gatorback serpentine belt.

My truck has the same chirp when I shut the engine down.



I just grin and say "Yup! That's my Cummins in there... "



As long as it don't squeal when running and all the accessories do their thing..... don't sweat the small s. . t

The trucks with manual transmissions don't chirp nearly as much



because the engine does not stop as fast- the clutch,



flywheel etc is heavier... if you shut it off with the clutch pedal in



maybe you'll get da squeal.

Just leave it in gear, drop the clutch, kill the switch and hold the brakes. That'll get you a squeal all the way to your wallet Oo.
