I have an 84' Jeep Grand Wagoneer with a 01' Corvette LS swap. I changed the A/C unit to a top mounted system due to motor mount locations not working with my setup.

In the attached photo I cannot seem to stop this upper pulley from squealing. Does anyone have experience with addressing this noise or a possible fix to my issue? I've changed the pulley to a new one, same issue. Everything is inline so no weird angles on the belt.

Thank you for any help.

You may need to change to a slick pulley vs. a grooved one. I think that is what I had to do

using a gatorback belt solved all my squealing problems

cooskeyb, do you mean, no grooves for the belt or is a slick pulley something different. I figured since the grooves are facing down then their isn't any way I can use a slick if that was the case.

sjsingke1, it isn't the belt, it's squealing at the bearing mount interface.

Thanks!

for ***** and giggles, with the vehicle running pour water on the grooved side of the belt and see if the noise quits

if its not the belt but the bearing.....and you went to a new pulley ....with new bearing......something is really wrong

I don't think the belt cares if the pulley is groved or not.
