Help needed ASAP. whining fan belt

[Tacoma Bob]

Decided to try the Gates BX 40 fan belt. Just fired it up and it sounds like a 671 jimmy supercharger. Tightened it up a bit and no difference. Any suggestions. Leavin for Vancouver in the morning.

how are the pump bearings?

Also try a little bar soap on the belt and see if it's the pulleys

Bearings are fine. i have belt dressing but thought Id run it by my Buds first. Soap sounds like a winner.

sometimes soap ends up making it worse dont put to much

try some pond algae

have a safe trip

A pinch of talcum powder quiets down noisy belts too.
