[QUOTE="ScottsdaleSnake, post: 9748627, member: 42111"] Please help! I have a horrible squeal on start up that would initally go away after a minute of warm up, but over the course of a couple months it has grown to squeal constantly and not go away even after the car is driven for a while. I thought for sure it was the alternator: replaced it but squeal is still there. Belt is new and when I changed the belt I rolled each pulley by hand to see if there was any hesitation, squeal, or anything that would indicate a bad pulley, but the idlers were smooth as silk. I am at a loss, as the car runs strong...it is mainly just a terribly annoying, loud, and embarrassing noise, but I worry whatever it is, it will eventually fail and something bad will happen. The sound appears to originate from the front of the engine and is painfully loud and squealing. Please note that the only idlers/pullies I was able to rotate by hand were the main ones...I cannot get to rear the idlers/pullies so i'm not sure if the problem originates from there although the A/C compressor is brand new and the power steering works fine. Also, the sound seems to originate from the center to front/right (if facing the engine - alternator side) of the engine. I know this is hard to diagnose, but the squealing is getting much louder, lasting much longer and I don't have money to give the car to Ford to diagnose....posting for help on SVTPerformance is my last resort. Can someone please reply at [email]walidmvp@yahoo.com[/email] or call me at 623-262-6003 if they have any ideas. I would be more than happy better describe or allow them to hear the sound through the phone if they would like. Please help! Thank you so much in advance. :shrug::shrug::shrug: [/QUOTE]
