Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 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 your belt slipping. it's totally normal. as long as the belt is in good shape, I wouldn't worry about it. My belt doesn't chirp on my '97, but it did on my '91, and I liked the sound!

Did you check the other thread you opened in the 3rd generation forum? I answered your question there.

If you relocate your blow by bottle it probably would start to do it again...

Manual transmission trucks don't do it... . there's a lot more rotating mass with the flywheel/clutch/transmission innards... so the engine comes to a stop kinda slowly.



Automatics do it 99. 44% of the time... the engine comes to a halt and the accessories are still going... thus the screech.



I've never payed any attention to whether the 3rd Gen trucks do it or not...

A Gatorback belt takes care of the chirp,my 2000 did it and so does my 2004. .

You should also notice that it is more likely to chirp on HOT days than on cold days. If it is hot and the fan clutch is locked - it will chirp. If it is cold or if your fan clutch is toast then the fan will free-wheel to a stop, and no chirp.

DGFoster is right. I found out about the Gatorback belt off this site, put it on and the chirp is gone, and hasn't done it since. I didn't mind it but got tired of defending my truck's honor all the time. Too many people asked, WHAT'S THAT NOISE ? WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR TRUCK ?

my 01 6 speed makes the chirp . it has right from day one

A old glazed belt will not chirp.

My '98 6-speed truck chirps now and then a little but most of the time it doesn't.

My GF asked what it was... ... I explained that these engines produce so much torque that to stop them a "TORQUE BRAKE" is required. She goes OH! That's cool!... ... . I didn't have the heart to tell her I was kidding.

Sounds like some trucks with manual trannies do it as well... interesting.

Yep, mine does it probably 30% of the time - 70% if the A/C is on! No big deal... .
