Re: 95 talon awd

Depending on the last time you changed the belts, it maybe worth just replacing both when you go to the autoparts store. That way you know you have good belt for the winter and wont have to mess with them for a while.

Well that might solve it for a little bit but using a bar of soap everytime the car squeels seems kind of dumb to me.

On a date,

"Excuse me for a minute, my cars belts are squeeling. Do you have a bar of soap I can use?"

Just use the soap technique as a tool (same as belt dressing, doesn't matter which one you use)

After checking to see if both belts are tightened

Apply it to one belt, if it doesn't stop
apply to second belt

If the squeeling stops on the belt, you know which one is giving you problems.

If it doesn't stop, replace belts and see if that stops it

How long have they been squeeling? You could have burned through one by now. still don't rule out the alternator.

All of the belts are about a month old and they squeal pretty bad from takeoff and continues through second gear but stops after about a block but it squeals after every takeoff!!
