Default Squealing nose
H. I need help. I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 and its making this sqealing nose when I start it and while I'm driving when ever. I have replaced the serpentine belt, the tensioner pully and the idler pully and it still makes this nose. Anyone know what it could be?

I could make a nose joke, but I won't.

What about the tensioner, Is it keeping the belt tight? They have been known to stick.

What brand belt?

Also, some punctuation would make that a LOT easier to read.......

Yep. Get it wet, especially with coolant, which also contains a lubricant.... and the belt will slip.
