2003 chevy Tahoe. Squealing noise when idle.

I have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe. When I start the truck, I hear a squealing . It gets louder when I hit the gas. Could this be the fan belt? Can I spray a belt dressing to quiet it until I get it replaced?

You could have a loose belt, bad pulleys, or belt tensioners. Just pull on your belts first and see if they are loose!

You have to remove the belt.Also you can have it tested on the vehicle.Once you have the 2 bolts off and the belt the alternator should come off.Good luck.

You either have a bad plug wire or have cracked one of the new plugs while installing them. Try watching under the hood while someone else accelerates the engine to locate the noise.
Good luck dont forget to rate.

SOURCE: Chirping Noise

First of all belt dressing is NO good if it was the belt making that noise it would get worst. It can be a few things, 1. I can still be the serpentine belt 2. The belt tensioner may be bad or worn bearing on it. 3. A bad water pump 4. A bad Idler pulley. 5. A bad Ac compressor.6. Bad alternator, All of the above can possibly cause this noise. What I recommend you do is remover serpentine belt and check each pull individually by spinng/turning them by hand. You should hear noise. If serpentine belt is worn/cracket replace. Here is a diagram of you belt routing. Good Luck contact if you need more help.

I have a 99 chevy lumina it started squealing where the belt is everytime I touch the gas it gets louder it has a 3.1 6 cylinder

Either it needs a new belt or the automatic belt tensioner is going out. Could even be a pulley that's frozen

AC Squeal

Odd,possibly the AC is overcharged,or a pulley(either tensioner or
PS ) is out of line. Wish I knew what kind of vehicle. Might help.

I had the rotors and brakes replaced on Feb. 2012. My brakes are now squealing.

Wow,your vehicle should have no brake noise regardlous of age,I have a 85 Nissan 720 truck,no brake noise.If they did the brake work,take it back again and if they don't fix it right,no noise and good brakes,let them know that you will go visit the BBB,You are required to take your vehicle back three times and if still not right,The BBB.will investigate.

My chevy tahoe makes a squealing sound whenever I

There is a very good chance if the air/con is on and the v.belt is slightly loose,it would cause the sound.The power steering pump is on the same v,belt.Check the belt tension.If its ok you can buy a spray that makes the belts stickier.Its a v.belt or fanbelt spray.This will be the problem.Hope this helps
