Anyone know what it could be?

Heres a video of it. Try to watch the center of the screen you can see the belt shifting on the pulley and moving.

Bump...

Any advice or info on whats making the belt shift. Would it be a loose pully or something sliding in and out under haed throttle? Need help with it cus the squeak is annoying and i drive WOT most of the time in the city.

for the little bar in the middle, I left it bolted to the frame and use a cotter pin I got at lowe's. I bought wiring harnesses from radio shack and spliced them in so that my windows and doorlocks still work. Best way is with a hi lift jack or second person to hold them up when your bolting and unbolting.

I have 3 CB questions

1. Mount to roof or tail light

2. Recommended length and material of antenna? (I want to be able to pull in the garage, so would something I could tie down be best?)

3. Recommended mount bracket for antenna?

clockwise from center on the manifold side, go in three circles, 22lbs, 45lbs, then 110 on everything except the front one on the manifold side. thats 100lbs

Are the push rods torched to a spec? Or anything else besides the head?

The only problem I see using a radio harness for DQs is that the power windows and power locks need to run on 14 gauge wire, even better if it's 12 gauge. The wire on a radio harness is 18-22 gauge. If there's a way to make 4 wires on the harness 12-14 gauge I'd definitely do that then.

Probably the PS pump or a high pressure hose. Those metal crimped fittings on the hoses usually loosen up and have to be replaced. The PS cap probably isn't a problem unless its very loose.

Powerwash that area then have someone go lock to lock with the steering wheel and try to find the leak.

So what exactly is a '92? I know it's a Chrysler but it seems there are differences between my XJ and "Universal Chrysler Parts" for 92? Was it still during the AMC to Chrysler transition?

Roof is technically best, but will get in the way and be too tall. Taillight works fine

Get a fiberglass flexible antenna - 4 feet or so should be sufficient. I attached mine to the middle of the taillight and it only sticks up a little over a foot and a half over the roof

3. Recommended mount bracket for antenna?

Make one - mine is 3/16" plate with a 90° bend
I will say mine needs to be a tab bit taller for optimal tuning and SWR, I plan on adding a spring so that should bring it up enough.
