I am having a chirping noise I can’t seem to figure out. I have replaced the belt and the tensioner pulley. While the belt was off I spun the other pulley's and did not feel or hear any issues. I would like to fix it but it has been hard diagnosing where it’s coming from. Any ideas on what else it could be? When I get under the truck while it’s running it is much louder. Not sure if that would help. Any advice would be great. The more I listen to it it more sounds like it’s coming from the back of the engine or even below the truck altogether.

Good evening,

Can you post a video of the noise so I can hear what you hear?

My first thought was like you, the belt.

Then I can give you my opinion.

Not sure if you can hear it. Wasn’t as loud just now. After it runs a bit tomorrow I should be able to get a better audio.

Heard it.

Did you check the torque converter bolts for being loose? Look up there as well and see if the flywheel is cracked. It gives off a noise just like this.

Look around the area at the flywheel and see if there are any rust lines. That indicates a crack in the flywheel.

If you are not sure, have someone check it for you to be sure.
