So today I start up the jeep and I get this squeak I figure one of the pulleys is wet from the rain but after driving it it didnt go away checked it out sounds like its coming right from the center of the motor...also it goes away at about 1200 rpm thinkn idler or possibly power steering... Waterpump and alterternator are new

 

Ideas? Comments? Opinions?

 

Might be harmonic balancer?

 

Yeah after doing some research on google I was going to take a peak at the harmonic balancer.. Ill take a look at it when I leave for dinner see if theres any obvious signs wobbling and such... Sounded like it was coming from the waterpump earlier maybe ill break out my auto stethascope and see if I can pin point it

 

After changing my intake his weekend I had a strange squeak too. I used belt dressing and it didn't go away. I tightened all the pulleys to spec and still didn't go away. I noticed the belt felt sticky. So I sprayed some tar and bug remover on a rag then ran it over the belt while the engine was on. The stickiness and the squeak went away.

 

Figures I would go check It before I went to dinner and it stopped yet it did it all day

 

Did it again today sprayed some WD40 on the powersteering pulley and it stopped so off to the parts store I go
