    Squeaking belts!!!

    I have a 2001 VMC3020, my low range belt is driving me crazy! Some days its not to bad but other days I can't here myself think.
    I bought a new set of belts but I heard somewhere that the motor mounts also can cause the sqeaking?
    Has anyone had this problem?

    Thanks
    A+

    Squeek fix

    Seems to always happen in low range. Ckeck your pulleys for a build-up of dried coolant/oil in the bottom of the vvvvvvvvv. I clean it out with MEK and a fine S.S. welders brush. Also on new belts the paint marking sometimes makes a squeek when it goes by the idler, you can scotch-brite that off.

    Yes motor mounts can cause noise. Just check the motor mounts to see if rubber is squishing out of the sides, if so, it's time to replace them.

    Hasn't FADAL changed the coolant seal on thru-coolant machines to reduce coolant-on-belt problem (slip/squeek)?

    Coolant thru seal change

    Fadal did change the coolant thru seal system. I have a 2007 3020 with air lines going to the seal system. I have not pulled the cover off to see what is different. I does have a timer relay that stops the seal air flow about 5 sec. after the coolant is shut off.
