I Recently but a new belt on are 2001 Ram 2500 Cummins and went on with out a problem. The belt squeals really bad from about 1500-3500Rpms i sprayed a little bit of belt conditioner on it and it seemed to help for a little bit what could be making the belt squeal so much??
Make sure the new belt has the same amount of groove's. And belt dressing is a no no. Get some carb cleaner and clean the belt and the pulleys. Use a wire brush to clean the grooves of the pulleys. Also make sure the tensioner is notfroze up and moves all the way back and forth.
The belt is a Gates FleetRunner-Serpentine Belt. The belt has the same number if grooves and the tensioner is fine and i cleaned the pulleys with a wire brush and Ether.
