Still had the squeaking!!!.........stopped and tightened it a little and all hell broke loose!!!
making all kinds of noise and squeaking and I could see the belt fraying on the alt pulley and the volt meter showed it wasn't charging and then the belt broke.......Easter Sun. and all Auto part stores are closed..I had the belt that I took off at the house if I could only limp home under battery power (20 miles).....
So as I was limping home I noticed I still had the squeak when I gave it gas with no alt. belt...I wondered what the hells up with this???..........made it about 15 miles and then the headlight and speedo quit working...1/2 mile from the house the fuel pump quit working and I was stranded..(Bummer!)........A friend came and we hooked up the jumper cables for about 10 min and that gave me enough juice to make it home.
I put the original belt back on and it squealed loudly!!........So I took the alt off to get another one tomorrow......Here's my questions:
Does the 502 take a V-Belt or Serpentine belt?????
There are no numbers on the chrome alt anywhere..does anyone have the model #....(I'm going to buy a regular one off the shelf and see if it solves any of the problems before getting the chrome one re-built)
The squeaking I was getting when under load with no alt belt has to be the the harmonic balancer I assume...What's causing this???...
