So just for the heck of it I put the old belt back on for my 6 mile drive home from work not a single squeak. I guess that confirms the suggestion I bought a POS masterpro belt.

Thanks ICE98. I will try the gatorback.

I purchased the masterpro belt from OReilly. The belt that came of was the napa belt. I guess you could say it was the cheap belt since the belt I bought was 29.99 the belt that came off was a napa belt which is 39.99

So after changing to the slightly larger 120amp belt I started the tahoe and the squeek was gone. I replaced the thermostat because I have been meaning to do that as well. Started the tahoe again to run to the store and the squeek is back. What the heck. New belt new tensioner new idler...

Both the 105 and 120 amp belts fit. Returned the 105 belt and got the 120. No More Squeek.

I changed the serpentine belt in my 96 tahoe. There are two sizes of belts 105amp alternator or 120amp alternator. I could not find a number on the on bet or on the alternator so I chose the 105amp size belt abs it fit. However, since changing the belt I have a loud chirp coming from belt...

96 tahoe 157,000 milies. The guy I bought the truck from has only ever used Quaker State 5W-30. This is my first winter with the truck and I am having some, what i hope is, lifter noise at cold starts. A mechanic friend recommended Castrol Blend 10W-30 with or without a bottle of Lucas...

I have a 96 chevy Tahoe with 156,000 miles. It has been pretty cold the last few mornings and I have noticed a knocking after starting the vehicle which goes away after reaching operating temp. I have noticed this on other chevy's I have owned all of them being a lot newer than this Tahoe...

I have another question. I got the Tahoe back from the shop last night. I drove the truck home and there were no leaks, everything looked good. This morning was a cold morning so I went outside and started her up to let her warm up before leaving for work. About 10 mins later I came outside...

I have a 1996 tahoe 5.7 4x4 with 157,000 miles. I have only owned this vehicle a for months. I bought it as a toy but ended up being my to from work driver only 14 miles round trip. My question is what if any oil additives should I use to keep her running nice.

The issue needed up being corrosion on multiple wired to and from the PCM. My upper and lower intake manifold gaskets were leaking as well as my timing cover. Decent price quoted by the mechanic so I had them do it. My question is what, if anything, can I do as a flush or cleaning after...

my next step tomorrow is to test for spark at the coil "tower" this might be a dumb question, but in order to test the cable from the coil to the rotor, do i test the cable at the end that connects to rotor or at the end that connects to the coil? I am reading in the Haynes manual that the...

I left that part out of my initial post. I do not have spark. I only checked for spark at #1 plug. I also used a test light at the ignition coil connection from the rotor to test for spark and I had no spark there either. Since there is no spark at the coil, there would not be spark at the...

I have a 96 Tahoe, 4x4 5.7L that will crank but not start. Leading up to this point, there was a few mornings where the truck would start, but when it did, it was as if there was a weak start when she did fire. I am not a mechanic so I apologize if this is confussing. When the truck did...
