Chirping sound...

[supeg]

Hey all, replaced my Idlers 2 years ago due to a chirping sound, this seems a little different. I will make a video clip for you all to see, but basically it sounds exactly this this.

Does not matter if it is cold or hot, and stopping at a light next to another car I can hear it a lot!

Anyone know what it is?

Hard to tell in video, but maybe your boost actuator is stuck closed . There are how tos on adjusting/testing thgis here and the other Lightning forums.

Bump.

Anyone have any ideas?

remove the sc betlt and start her up...if the sound goes away then it could just be an idler pulley.

 

[REDBLITZ]

Could be any of them. Like he said, remove the belt and go from there.

Anyone have a how to to remove the belt?

Or know how to repack the bearings on a metco idler?

I dont think you can repack those. To remove the belt you have to loosen the tensioner pulley and pull the belt off. it might be the idler, check the belt.
