i have a 88 DX
no a/c belt and new alt belt
recently, as the weather has gotten colder something(i hitnk its the alt belt) has starting squeeking. I figured out that when i have the heat on the thing squeeks louder and louder but as soon as i turn the heat off and shift into neutral then into gear, it will stop. Anyone know what going on?
my belt snapped once before in august for unknown reasons and i would like to try and avoid that again

 

Its your alternator belt, as your car demands more power the alternator becomes harder to spin and thus the belts slips a little, adjust it and tighten is all it needs

 

dont forget to apply belt dressing.

 

Remember to use OEM belts. I had an autozone one on it and it squeaked. Then I went with an OEM belt from Honda and had no problems at all. Who knows why...

 

^^^ OEM!!!. forget those autozone kragen pos crap. yup and make sure you tighten the belt up

 

thanks everyone

 

Yea man its the belt, you realy have to make sure that you tighten it to..

 

definitely the alt belt. if you get a quality belt from most parts stores you'll be fine. clean both pulleys with laquer thinner or degreaser and adjust the tension of the belt. i dont use belt dressing but i guess it couldnt hurt right?

dead on. happend to me..

 

With the belt on and at proper tension as suggest by the manufactor, check to make sure that the iner side of the belt desn't touch the botto of the pulley. If it does, you have the wrong size/width belt. Go OEM.

 

OEM seems the way to go. Gotta check the belt
got mine from Advance Auto parts

3PK 770B - Bando

does that sound like the right part number?

and while we're at the whole questiona and answer thing, any good ideas for a CD player for my rex? I wanna take the cassette out and move into the 21st century. And when i'm gonna put the thing in, well there will be more questions, like how to do it. Thanks H-T

 

I got mine at autozone works great for 2 years now it was like 12 bucks... I dont even wanna ask what they try charging for oem... Let me also add that most products and autozone, checkers etc. are back with some type of warrenty... defenitaly not a bad way to go

 

well i bought some CRC belt dressing and the squeek has gone away. I think my alternator is oging though. Had to jump it yeterday and today would barely start. blah

 

OEM honda 10 bucks!!!
