The squeal is more than likely the belt slipping. If it has an automatic tensioner, it could be starting to fail. Or the belt could just be worn out. That is where I would start.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

also check a/c that it is turning and not locking up defrost uses a/c for fog

jj, a locked up compressor will not stop squelling the belt when you accelerate from idle.
