Whine After Changing Serpentine Belt This isn't on my car, but a friend's, and he asked me to post up about it... lol
He changed his belts out today on his CE T/A and now he's got a whine that he describes as coming from the TB/Intake area. I suggested checking out the seals on all the induction stuff (lid, etc.), but he wonders if there might be something else that could be causing it. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Want to make sure the belt is the correct length and is not too tight or too loose. Something to check is the tensioner. Those can make noise and it sprayed mine with silicon spray. The intake tract would be more of a whistling sound if it were leaking.

Yeah he might want to check and make sure it is the right belt # by doing a search on here . Maybe the belt is not lined right or as before mentioned the belt tensioner . The stock belt tensioner is known to suck and slip when under load . A number of sponsors sale a replacement .Katech makes a real goog replacement and will correct this .

Is it a Goodyear Gatorback belt? I've had two of them on my Silverado and they both liked to whine from about 1,500-3,000rpm. Sounds like the truck has a friggan blower.
