Thats not the original thread title.

 

LOL. the thread started out with a different title - "another problem". miami's being overly thorough.

 

I edited the title.

 

Overly?

 

Kinda funny after i took off my belt to change the t-stat it started to squal real bad. put some belt conditioner and that made it worse so i ended up buying a new belt.solved the problem,
never made a sound till i took the belt off.

 

Did anyone ever figure out how to fix it??

 

The post immediately before yours - he replaced the belt. Other options, remove belt as described earlier and cleann all pulleys. make sure tensioner is tight and functioning properly.

 

I had bad squealing on mine. Replaced the belt with a goodyear gatorback. No more squeal.

 

"Belt dressing" or "belt conditioner" is trash. Dont buy it. I have never seen a case where it helped anything. It just amplifies your belt squeal and makes a mess. I cant believe its even available for purchase still.

 

I dont know it resolved the squealing issues on both my truck and my boat last year and the squeals havent returned? Maybe some brands work better than others?

I could see it masking other issues and leading to failure but if the tension is right and the belt looks good but has a glossy surface due to a previously loose tension issue than it can help.
