Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) squeak when turning off the motor

[Mike252001]

Hay guys I have a noise or a squeak when turning off the truck.

I put a new belt on that did not solve the problem . I was told it was the tensioner and somebody else says its the valves . what do i do to check this.

Thanks MIKE

Fan clutch locked + shutting down = CHIRP!

I think it means you bought the right truck...

Perfectly normal. Engine stops faster than the belt.

Thats normal i believe its from the high compresion of the engine it stops before the other component have time to witch makes them come to a screeching halt. Its known as belt chirp

Thanks i wont get bent out of shape then mike

Autozone has a belt called Gatorback, it will stop the squeak.

I like the chirp.

Have a gatorback belt - still chirps. Not really a big deal, still annoys.

 

[JL penner]

Mine doesn't chirp :{ :{

Most belts for this application will chirp at shutdown. The Goodyear Gatorback will not.

Usually when your truck is cold, it will chirp when you shut it down. After mine has warmed up, the chirp is gone when i shut it down. Oo.

Dam right! I love that chirp. Its a little reminder of the superior powerplant I have under the hood.

I put a Gatorback on and changed out the plastic tensioner pulley to a steel one. The new Gatorback squalled like a cat on fire

Put the OEM belt back on and tossed the Gatorback under the seat for a spare.

Still get the chirp... but it doesn't bug me!

OHH---NOOO you have the dreaded ""CWSD"""... ... ... ... .

I like the chirp too just letting you know high compression if it's not running it's gonna stop right now

Manual?

Do the manuals with a heavier flywheel still chirp? Is this a 24v only club?



Mine never chirped. :{



Is it possible to bomb the chirp louder? :-laf

Do the manuals with a heavier flywheel still chirp?

Mine with the 6-speed chirps probably 40-50% of the time. Always has. One would think that the HOs with their higher compression ratio would be more prone to the chirp than the SOs.

My 12V was louder than my 24V. But then it had more miles on the belt and tensioner.
