Pulley noise?
Whenever I start my '86 cj-7 i can hear a squeaking sound. I also notice
that the rpm's fluctuate while this is going on.I am certain it is coming from one of the pulleys Is this the idler pulley? If not, how do i pinpoint which pulley it is? How hard is it to replace? Thanks in advance, Frank |

If the sound goes away or is reduced, its not a pulley. Robert Bills KG6LMV Orange County CA http://www.outdoorwire.com/4x4/jeep/...p-l/billsr.htm http://www.RobertBills.com |

Sure you don't just need new belts. As they wear and as the pulleys wear the belts tend to get sucked further down into the grooves. That makes for the squeeking. If putting on belt dressing stopped the squeak it's either an old/glazed belt or a pulley is getting worn. Belts are cheap. -- DougW |
