I bought this little truck which had been very well taken care of. However, I have a problem with the fan belt squealing.
I have used a half can of WD 40, a half can of belt dressing, a half can of Silicone spray and a half bar of soap. These remedies will stop the suealing for a while, but it comes back after driving for a while, I have also replaced the belt and checkied the pullies.

Hi there,

all that muck will only cause the belt to squeal, take the belt off and clean it or get a new one, clean all the pulleys of belt grip, oil and lube, fit a new belt and check the alignment of the alternator, as this is often the pulley out of alignment, check this out first.
