Hey dudes..

Ever since I put an AEM Alternator underdrive pulley on my car... and had one of my belts replaced... I get this HIGH pitch squeeking sound from my car when the engine is cold... when I do ANYTHING...
ie. Press gas a touch... turn on heater... move the power steering.. I do anything.. and the belt squeeks like no tomorrow! And it's a LOUD squeek too.

Any ideas?

belt too tight or too loose?

yeah i dont understand what kind of pulley you would upgrade for the alternator, but it sounds like the belt is too tight or loose thats all

But the sound only happens when it's cold... when the engine's warm.. there's no sound.

I guess I'll let Honda take a look at it when I bring it in on Saturday for an oil change. Maybe my belt is torqued wrong. I had Altech install the pulley.

its probably to loose.... my power steering belt squeels like a pig in the mornings.... but only if i turn like 75% or more to either side

it shrinks when cold and gives some slack when warm

ya thats true it would... cause aluminum destorts more to heat then steel would ... ding ding... thats probably it.... but like kwikb16a2 said earlier i hope you didn't spend a lot of money on it

I spent $80 on the pulley... and $130 on the install. $100 for the install.. and $30 for the belt.
