#51 of 142 Chirping Gates serpentine belt by chrisd1970 Jul 22, 2007 (3:17 pm)
I have a 1999 GMC Jimmy and when I first start it up and while I am idling it makes a chirping noise but once I give it the gas it seems to go away could this be my problem also? thanks Replies to this message: jlflemmons (Jul 22, 2007 5:45 pm) chrisd1970 (Jul 24, 2007 3:09 pm) steve_ (Jul 22, 2007 5:50 pm) chrisd1970 (Jul 24, 2007 3:07 pm)

Replying to: chrisd1970 (Jul 22, 2007 3:17 pm) Very possible. Another source could be the bearing in the idler pulley, but checking the belt is easy. Just find the labels on the belt (remember, there are two locations) and put a little silicon grease or even liquid soap on them. If the sound changes, you have found your noise.   BTW, the belt I put on that started this thread has finally shut up. Replies to this message: chrisd1970 (Jul 24, 2007 3:09 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 22, 2007 5:50 pm) Thanks for your help. I had the Idler pulley replace on 5-24-07 the serpentine belt that same day and the serpentine nelt tensioner on 2-22-07. I will be taking it in once again to have the chirping checked again . I have just over 92000 miles on my 1999 jimmy. I think it might be time to start looking for a new car.

#57 of 142 How do I remove the starter in my 01 blazer by delk77 Jul 08, 2007 (5:53 pm)
I have an 01 Chevy Blazer. After I went muddin I went to the local watering hole to cool off with some suds and when I left the truck wouldnt start. It's definatley the starter. I removed the 2 bolts and the starter is loose but I cant remove the 2 wires or get the starter out. I need about an extra 1/4 inch of space. I also tried to remove it through the half flap in the wheel well with no joy. Can anyone tell me how to remove it soI can take it apart and clean it or replace it if I need to? I'm so lost.

Replying to: delk77 (Jul 08, 2007 5:53 pm) The 4wd is a pain and after disconnecting the positive battery cable at the battery, as you did remove the 2 main starter bolts, then curse as you need 1/4" drive with extension and socket to get to the solenoid nut and then 3/8" drive for the positive cable nut both as the starter is angled at 45 degrees or so to manuever the sockets. Then when that fun is done the starter must be flipped 180 to get it to drop out the bottom rear - yes it just fits. Some jack the pass side of the motor up alittle but that can split the brittle rubber in the motor mount and those are a real pain to replace, drivers side worse.
