Noisy Belts

https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...ht=noisy+belts

I just dug this up from the search area. I'm curious to know if anyone else has tried Dielectric grease to their belts to silence them. If so, How much will do the trick?

Re: Noisy Belts

I would think that Dielectric grease would make them more likely to slip. If they are squeaking or screeching you should try V grooved belts.

Re: Noisy Belts

I have used dielectric grease to fix squeaking belt on my 96. Use just a little bit. Baby power works too.

I've used bar soap a few times. It does work but only for a day or two.
