Serpentine belt
#1
My 98 blazer has a new engine and I have a screeching belt problem that I can't get rid of. I have changed idler pulley ,tension pulley. The noise seems to worsen when I accelerate. What else could it be? Any solutions?

I finally fixed this problem on mine today, it was another poster in this forum that suggested pulling the power steering pump pulley out by 1/8 of an inch. I honestly couldn't think of why this would work because the noise seemed to be coming from the top idler pulley but it worked. No more noise! I wish I had tried this before I replaced all three pulleys, the belt (twice) and rebuilt the alternator with new bearings.
