you can also use graphite powder its also a powder and a lubricant use it also in your key fobe in your ignition if key gets stuck it works perfect also reply if you have used graphite powder thanks
There are a lot of home remedies like this, bar soap, dish soap. I have had good luck with some light grit sandpaper and a wire brush and cleaning grooves of belt. As belts age they glaze and get dirty from age and use. knocking that surface down usually cleans them up.
My uncle told me to do this like 40 years ago, and I thought he was joking. SOB. Seriously man, write this into the foot powder people and everybody else. They got to change their marketing plan. They are losing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
the powder acts like a friction agent that's why it works, baking powder, salt, you name it that's mild abbrasive will work. probably not the best idea to use salt.
I put CRC belt dressing on my 2014 Lincoln navigator just for precation my truck has 50k miles and I pray it carefully directly on the inside of the belt while idling and cautious not to hit the bearings but the belt started squeaking as soon as I did that just now any ideas?? Will it go away I know its the dressing but did I use the wrong one???
Sorry to hear that. I'm afraid I can't say for sure. All I can say is the handful of times I've ever sprayed any sort of dressing on my belts it has always made them squeal worse. I've never tried to just apply some before squealing started as a precaution. I'd recommend trying to dry it out with the powder like I've done here. Let us know what you end up finding that works! Good luck!
Mine sounds just like that.after I replaced my belt. So I Replaced tensioner and idler pulley . Still does this. Someone told me dieelctric grease . I think I might have some powder at home . I'm a try this
Did you see my part 2 of this? Where I talk about the difference between OEM quality belts with deeper grooves, which I theorize and seem to have proven that eliminated my noises? Link is at the end of the video or one of the cards that pops up.
@@ratattack1571 take belt off and spin all the pulleys by hand and listen. Also you can test if it’s the belt by putting a little water on it. If it stops making noise it’s the belt
It’s hard to say. Could be a number of things I suppose. Best solution I can say is to get Original Equipment Manufacturer belts from your dealer. I found that the grooves on my aftermarket belts were not as deep, so they didn’t settle into the grooved pulleys as well which resulted in not as good of grip all around.
its too loose put a little more tension on it loosen the bolts and do that not too much tension just a little and go from there see what happens thanks
I changed all pulleys tensioner even new serpentine belt and it still makes this loud noise and louder when accelerating 😭 checked for misalignment but everything looks good ! I have 2 new belts and both make this noise.. are there other brand belts with deeper grooves maybe? 🤔
The deepest grooved belts I’ve found are the Original Equipment Manufacturer OEM Toyota belts. All others I tried didn’t have deep enough grooves and were a “harder” rubber, causing the squealing in my case. Did you try the Toyota belt from the dealer?
@@AdventureTEQ I have a 2007 Chevy suburban and I just bought whatever one they recommended (don’t remember what brand) I’m kit much of a car expert lol 😂 but can any belt go to any car like the the one your mentioning ?
@@anisacortez600 you probably have a bad bearing somewhere, did you replace your belt tensioner? To test these just Remove the belt completely, and turn every pully by hand, and if it squeaks, then that's probably your problem.
do the water test. pour a little water on the belt, if squeaking stops, it's not the bearings, it's the belt. spray some crc belt conditioner on, and you good for few thousand miles.
Use a temperature gun with the little laser and after running the car for a while open it up and point the laser at the pulleys. Any pully that has higher temperature than the rest probably needs to be checked or replaced. You'll see a 20-30 degrees difference that's your bad pulley right there guaranteed 6:21
I'm no mechanic, but sprinkling baby powder inside the engine bay doesn't seem like the best of ideas. If I'm doing this, the belts coming off the engine
Would you take your belt off before driving down a dusty road? I assure you that truck engines are far more capable of withstanding a little bit of talcum dust! Just based off of my 26 years of driving & mechanicing experience. 🤷🏼♂️
@@AdventureTEQ That's not exactly an apples to apples comparison as vehicles are designed engineered to keep all the elements away from the engine. I get your point, though. Probably harmless IF you know what you are doing.
Best part, that engine isn’t getting athletes foot anytime soon! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you man it worked for my 1994 chevy s10 4.3 thing was driving me nuts lol
Great! Should work until the belts get real wet again. Like a heavy rainstorm or big puddles. Then just add more!
Good help thank you
As a woman who does a lot of repairs on her own car…. Boy, if this doesn’t work . I will never hear the end of this 🤣😂 Please work 🤞🏾
😁😁
Did it?😂

So have you had to do the starter yet on the land cruiser? It’s a fun one

@@AdventureTEQ after 3 days its stoped making any kind of noice but im never spraying any dressing again
Worked for me
Practically every bely sold at local auto parts stores are crap, stick with OEM belts from the dealer, and not Ebay! Counterfeit Bay I call it!
Dielectric Grease is the longest lasting product to hide belt noises in my experience
@Anthony Greco did the dielectric grease work?
But grease will make it slip, no?
Most of these products are just making thr belt slip to "quiet" the squeek.
That's a baby squeal!
Mine sounds just like that.after I replaced my belt. So I

@@ratattack1571 take belt off and spin all the pulleys by hand and listen. Also you can test if it’s the belt by putting a little water on it. If it stops making noise it’s the belt
@@napieraustin so, after replacing, water pump, tensioner, pulley, and power steering pump. The contenetial belt finally fixed it .
@@ratattack1571 What's a "contenetial" belt? Never heard of that.
Mine squeaks exactly like that but it goes away after driving for a few Minutes do you know why

I would also say ,that the heated belt causes more friction, so it doesn't slip ...
Also the pulleys expand faster than the belt , as written above ,it must be true ...
its too loose put a little more tension on it loosen the bolts and do that not too much tension just a little and go from there see what happens thanks
I use liquid soap 👍🏻😁

Gator belts by Goodyear/ continental elite belts. They are now branded as the technology line.

WHY does it work...and for how long
Magic.
It did not work for me lasted about 10 miles
Dang it! Maybe your belt is just soooooper worn & thin? No groove gripping action deep in the pulleys?
If it squeaks then just might need new bearings
If the bearing is the culprit then yes.
If it squeaks means belt, bearing failure sounds like a howl
My belt doesn't have bearings tho.
@@tedburkholder8156 then it might need a new tensioner

Great tip!
Sound is too low otherwise good video
Looks pretty good lol what is wrong with people it don’t look good at all you high
I have also heard that the comet cleaning powder works.
That's cool! Hadn't thought of that one.
Where did you hear that? I wouldn't do that. Comet's abrasive.
@@ApartmentKing66 multiple UA-cam videos LOL. I ended up installing a new belt
@@ApartmentKing66 Not just abrasive, it has corrosive chlorine (bleach) as a cleaning agent.
Also I believe comet has bleach in it.
And you can literally put about anything in your belt I wouldn’t use trans fluid tho 😂
Belt dressing sucks! This worked instantly
Hell yah! 🙌🏻
Nope. Replace the belt.
Don't use belt dressing, but CRC belt CONDITIONER works.
I have a Ford V8 F150. It had no noise problem but thought to spray some CRC conditioner on it just for good maintenance. Now it squeaks like HELL !!
Clean belt and put amour all.
