squeel

Hey everyone.

My truck now has 80,000 miles on it and I am noticing that first start of the day it squeels for the first 10-15 seconds after it has been started on its first start of the day when it is cold outside and wet. All day runs great and when you go to start it you never hear anything. Just first start of the day.

What has caused the truck to do this after use? I do a ton of maintenance and always replace something if it is not normal.

Is that the belt, pully, or tensioner going bad?

Thanks in advance!!

Get a length of 1" tubing, and start listening to isolate it.

i noticed my friend has 140,000 miles on his and it does the same thing on first start of the day. After that you will never hear it all day.

I figured the cold and moisture are showing something that is weak somewhere.
