I just fixeed the belt shredding problem and developed another one.
My belt has started to squeel or shreek loud as hell when I start the car.(Lasts about 5 or so minutes than goes away)
What would cause this and how do I fix it?
It is embarrassing as can be because the only cars with the belts that shreek are old as pieces of crap.

Did you put a new belt on it ? If not that is your problem mine sounded like a bird chirping for a little while til I figured out the problem . A good way to tell is squirt a little water on the belt if it goes away it's the belt .

Just put a new belt on yesterday and it was ok at first but started to sreek after I let it sit yesterday afternoon and we took the car to dinner.
We pulled the bottom idler to add the washer behind it, and also we took the top one off next to the blower pulley to check the bearings

all billet flow idlers 2.93

Considering what you told me on the phone it would not surprise me if you had 1 or more bearings that are messed up.
