Q: Squeaking sound - 1990 Chevrolet K2500
Ok so my pickup out of random started squeaking. I replaced everything i can think of. Gone through 4 different brands of belts, replaced ac bypass pulley twice, tensioner pulley twice, rebuilt water pump, checked power steering pump, replaced power steering pump pulley, replaced alternator, checked tension on belt. Ive done all this. When i drive it sounds more like a smacking sound but the noise decreases as i drive more but never goes away. It does it at idle and at driving. I haven't replaced the harmonic balancer but i don't know if it would cause this sound. Ive taken it into 3 different shops and they don't know.
My car has 295 miles.
