You may want to check the belt tensioner to see if it needs to be replaced. After a while they tend to loose their tension, causing the belt to squeal.

[@markdamstra]

My new 2001 mustang seemed to have an issue with the tensioner pulley jumping back and fourth. I believe this caused an idle issue dropping and accelerating. I replaced the tensioner pulley the two idler pulllies and the belt. The belt now squeeks. what do you recommend?

[@1AAuto]

@279spirit We offer a choice between AC Delco belts and an aftermarket brown box. More often though on the Chevy and GMC trucks, it is one of the tensioner pulleys making the noise. They are known to start going around 50K miles.

[@THEHAITIAN1804]

Thank you. Ordered a couple parts from you guys and was satisfied with shipping. I intend to order more parts and recommend you guys to my buddies as well. Please do some more Mustang (V8) videos. Also keep up the good work 1aauto.

[@awesomeness2214]

Awesome video very informative but what about buying that same 15mm bolt does 1A carry them

[@1AAuto]

If it's a squeeling noise you may want to check the belt or the tensioner.

[@THEHAITIAN1804]

Outstanding. I hope you guys do more videos on Mustang (especially V8).

[@robertjernigan1774]

Thank you for the vid. Took me about 5min to fix

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com

[@TwistedPerceptions01]

Its definitely a small exhaust leak somewhere. I currently have the same noise and have taken mine to a shop and had it confirmed that it is indeed a leak. I just haven't had the money to have it fixed yet. My leak is somewhere around the manifolds.

[@SHUG05]

Thanks for taking the time to show this, much appreciated.

Wow, that was awesome. i didn't think it was gonna be that easy. thank you very much for the video.

[@1AAuto]

@infringinator The GM Trucks are known for their serpentine tensioner pulleys going bad. On many applications There are 2 tensioners, one for the major belt and one down low for the AC belt. We sell both on our website.

Hey I have a 94 v6 mustang and this may sound a bit weird But I'm having trouble replacing the spark plugs. Um using a basic socket set with extension nothing fancy but it's hard for it to fit. Could u possibly post s video or something with what kind of tools u would use thanks... all of ur videos are extremely helpful with the mustang and accords

[@1AAuto]

It may be a small exhaust leak somewhere.

[@alphataco693]

Ty. My new belt keeps slippin off the pulley and alternator ruined 2 belts already! Though it could be this or my ac bypass pulley. We will know today

[@utwy3181]

Thank you for the video. My bolt is pretty rusted and not willing to budge with some traditional elbow grease, is there any tips you have for loosening the bolt?

[@1AAuto]

+UTWY You could try spraying a little penetrating oil on it such as PB Blaster. You can find it at your local auto parts store. Hope this helps you out 1aauto.com

[@lanceprovost1450]

I have a 2003 Ford Mustang, the A/C compressor locked up when I pulled up at work and it started to burn the belt. Is there any way I can buy a smaller belt and bypass the compressor until I get it home?

[@1AAuto]

The new pulley came with a spacer.

[@infringinator]

my 2006 silverado squeaks a little should I try this? Or just change the belt?

[@1AAuto]

@countryboyG This isn't something that I've noticed or tried out. If all three of them do the same thing, it could be the way that they are designed.

[@Smoodydoo]

I have a 98 mustang ft and 2 cylinders arnt firing.. any ideas what the problem is or could be?

[@rgibnz320]

What is the tread size on the first idler pulley bolt? Last guy stripped the bolt hole and placed JB Weld or something. I want to helix coil it.

[@1AAuto]

+rgibnz320 Thanks for watching! We do not have that information on hand, but perhaps that is something you could figure out by contacting your local dealership.

[@MrMustang1804]

Great video. Thank you 1A Auto.

[@nickjs951]

I have a 1993 bronco and the idler pulley went bad so i replaced it and now its squealing louder than ever. Any sugestions on what i should do? I have barley any money right now so i cant go out and buy a bunch of stuff

[@hectro805]

Got it... If the noise got worse after the pulley was replaced what might the problem be?

[@gary5831]

As always thanks for the video..

[@hectro805]

Why is the plastic spacer removed?

[@279spirit]

@infringinator what kind of belt do you have chevy is bad for that squeaking noise with aftermarket belts

[@dallasbathtubrefinishing]

Thank you!

[@bluelightning1224]

Thank god i came and looked for this installation video, Ford was gonna charge me nearly 200 to replace both the pulley and the belt...lol

[@1AAuto]

You may have a bad coil. If the check engine light is on you may want to try to pull the code. If you need a set of coils we carry them with free shipping on our website Part Number: 1AERK00024 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@ericjuarez5940]

So I replaced it but the squeaking is still going on, could it be the water pump pulley thing?

[@1AAuto]

+Eric Juarez We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@1AAuto]

You need to go to your local parts store and pick up a spark plug socket.

[@sman112191]

Yea 99-04 mustang v6's are known to have an exhaust manifold leak. That is most likely what you're hearing.

[@rogue72able]

[@gokuneverdie]

[@unseenufo]

i just wanted to see the water pump and the pulley above it has both parts of the belt touching each other. I swear ive never seen that before in my other cars. That or i have been on motorcycles too long. Which is true.

[@callmezix9762]

Mine sounds like an alien
