Squeal after lift and clutch kit ??

bigfoot216 · 04-27-2010, 10:54 PM

Ok I got the lift on and put the clutch kit on from plowmans. I now get a squeal when running at any speeds, worse at low speeds. I was told I would get some, but this seams a bit much. Does anyone have a suggestion? Also I previously posted about my belt fraying, it has since cleaned it's self up. not sure if it is still eating away slowly at the belt and maybe that is what is making the squeal, or if it was not right would it continue to fray until belt was gone??

BTW 97 g16 6in jakes lift with plowmans clutch kit with orange spring.

Thanks
Scott.

Is the belt nice and straight, clutches in line with each other?

You may need to start with a fresh belt 1/8 off the width of the belt will have a negative effect on performance

Not sure how to check it other than eyeballin it. It looks fine. and the performance seams to to be right on??

On the first install, I over greased the clutch and burned my belt up. I took everything apart and cleaned all the grease off with brake cleaner and got a new belt. So the belt is in god condition, no fraying at all anymore.......

Also I have about 10 miles on the new belt.

Could it be the starter / gen belt making the noise?
