What is your question?
Considering the previous question. I haven't done the WD40 since the noise and the belt replacement. But if I shouldn't just keep replacing parts to rid the engine of the forward loud squealing, what should I do? This engine runs very strong and I don't mind the vehicle, I am just confused about where the noise could have originated literally overnight? AUTOKNOWHOW, please supply some more guidance. I am not afraid of ripping this damn thing apart if needed. my email is mvandeneede@sbcglobal.net. dandd, I will try that in the morning. I will pull the belt, and spin the pulleys. We'll see which one causes the most noise. Thanks.

I find that 1 way to isolate a front engine noise is to remove belts, 1 by 1 and see if the noise goes away. That way you are not throwing parts. If the vehicle has just 1 serpentine belt, then remove it and spin each pulley and listen to the bearings. If you replaced a belt recently, you may need to re-tighten it. I often replace belts and let the car run for 15-20 minutes and then to the final tension of the belts after they stretch, which they always do. If WD-40 helps, try to isolate which area is effected and then inspect for wear etc.
