GP1138 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 All your pulleys spin? Lots of rubber shavings? I'm guessing one of your accessories locked up, like my alternator did a month ago. As for the other sound, I'd have to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hell_raiser Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 um water pump locked up and ill try to record it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Oh, it's still screeching? I thought the screeching stopped when the belt blew, ergo your belt's friction against the water pump pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManicMechanic Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 You're lucky...i had to limp it into OK City and wait for an AZ to open...39* sleeping in a STUFFED Fiero that night! Can't complain too much though. Dragged the car out of its resting place only a week before - an Ohio cornfield of 5 years. That was the only trouble i had with it.
