WHile it's running hold the soap on the belt grooves and the squeal will stop. But this method along with belt dressing only lasts til the next rainstorm. Then it washes away. Either replace the belt, and try putting WD-40 on the pulleys. Also, check the idler pulley, they tend to squeal. jmk97GT Member Oct 29, 2004 178 0 16 Dec 11, 2004 #4 Dec 11, 2004 #4 Just get a new belt...you have 64,000 miles on it.
