And if you take the straw off and go to town... you won't have a mess of belt dressing or WD-40 on your hands. maybe you need to stay away from the fans then or put the straw back on. i never make a mess other than a small puddle on the ground when i'm finish... maybe i just perfected this technique from doing this work so long?

V Belts are much much much easier to squeal since they don't have a tensioner (98% of the time). It's all based on how tight you can get it by prying on the pump. As far as squealing, it's not limited to the PS Pump. If there's enough resistance, it can squeal.
I still would never spray a lubricant on my belt. All you're doing by spraying a LITTLE bit on there, is masking the problem. So congrats, didn't fix the problem, you just stopped the noise.

What's with the personal attacks lol? First off dousche I live in Chicago there's not a cornfield for miles. Your from where....florida lol? Yeah ok you don't have hay, just bbq crocodile and squirrel for dinner right lol. We have a Bobby Buchet on our hands folks lol.
You don't spray lubricant on something that's suppose to grip, that's called an oxymoron for all you slow people. Do you need me to whip out the webster? Let me know.
Anyways before your rude *** came into this forum. Even then he's talking about a WHINE. He's joking about a supercharger, but they whine, they don't squeel lol, so your still wrong.

If your not a hundred percent sure where the noise is coming from get a stealthscope, I've seen a few techs do this before and I've bought one for myself, a great little gadget to have.

well, if you looked at my first post, spraying the problem area, you'll find out if its a pulley or and old belt. maybe i should've clarified myself more. so congrats at paying attention.
and for me being a rude ***... you're the immature *** that critisized me. if you can't take what you give w/o calling others names then get off of here. you haven't been on here long with 44 posts. prove others wrong with facts is one thing, but to critisize them b/c you disagree...
HERE'S YOUR SIGN!!!

I'm sorry UltraZ, but lubricating belts is universally stupid. I'm not trying to be a total ***, but really. You might as well lube your discs or your tires. Anything that relies on friction, NEEDS to get grip. I've never used belt dressing, but my understanding was that it keeps the belt from drying out, and softens it up a bit so it grips better.

Amen lol. That's what I said, it's an oxymoron. I didn't criticize him at first, I think I just caught him makinga boneheaded move and he can't take it so he started on the name calling.
Oh yeah and he ultraz? Guess what I'm not new I just changed my name to match the others. I've been around since last june of 06 so I've been here longer than you, nice try tho, another genious that thinks the more posts you have the smarter you are lol.

I'm done here
OHHHH Now it's spraying the PULLEY. Story changes, go figure.
BTW, this is the LT1 section, not the LS1 section. 90% of us have our cars bought and paid for. Mine sure is.
The pulleys spin WAY faster than 500RPMs. The crank spins at 5000, then the crank pulley drops that down some, but the small alternator pulley cranks it way back up. The AC is a different story, since it's fairly big, as with the PS pump, but those have larger ones for more torque since they're compressors.
And no, you're far from a genius. You're spelling and grammar is horrible. Being older, one would think you'd at least know proper English.
Must suck to know us "young punks" are smarter than you.
