o god!!!

so i finally broke down and put the "4000" rpm spring in from agnem, well when i got my old one out i thought something was funny cause its a 3800 spring, and my 4000 rpm one was twice the size hmm anyway i put it in it, i think i adjusted something back wrong cause it idles like 1100 rpm, but i took off up the road and floard it in first, and i expected it to stop at 4000, but to my suprised it pulled like a raped ape all the way to 4400 were i shifted it when i found out it wasnt going to stop at 4000 o well its fine with me that its not a 4000 spring cause i love high rpm diesel

I think I would try to limit the excursions above 4000 RPM to a minimum.

Have you tried belt dressing. Haven't needed myself but others I've spoken with have had success.

belt needs to be replaced or tightened. The squeak is there to tell you something, just like brakes. Take a look at the teeth or grooves in the belt. If they are cracked, missing, worn, shiny, then you have your solution, if not, tighten the SOB.
