Squeaking sound from engine compartment
Hey guys,
You all were a huge help when I was having EGR problems before, so I'm turning to you for more advice. My 2005 has developed a squeaking noise from the engine compartment. It's a belt or pully or something. If this were an older car, I would say it sounds like the belt is stretched and is starting to slip. However, I'm sure this truck has a belt tensioner, so that can't be the case, can it?
It sounds just like a hamster wheel that needs to be greased. "squeak, squeak, squeak" From what I can tell, it's RPM dependent. The faster the motor revs, the faster the squeaking. Any idea what I should look for? Any common problems that this sounds familiar to anyone?
One other thing, when I peered into the engine bay with the motor running, all the pullies look perfectly balanced, except the big one on the crank. It had a noticeable wobble (but just slightly). Should I be worried? I don't have a lack of power, and the truck is running great. Just this damn squeaking noise.
Thanks for any help you can send my way...
