v10 belt squeal resolved
hi,
i was replacing my serpentine belt every year for the last 4 years for a doule squeal every 1 second
on my ford v10 6.8
i used a water sprayer to confirm it was the belt and not a bearing. noise stopping with water sprayed on the belt
used a laser level on the steering pump puley aiming at the alternator puley
saw that the pump puley was 1/16 inch to much forward.
rented a steering pump pullley extractor kit to push the puley onto the pump.
this small amount resolved the issue perfectly
i hope this can help someone else.
