Serpantine Belt
Hey everyone, got a 99F150 with a real bad serpentine belt squeak. Actually, had an updated one put in under warranty a few years ago. Will the belt spray work or will it make it worse like it did on my dad's truck??? Any ideas here? or should I just get buy a new one from Ford ($60)??? Thanks!!!

So both belts squeaked badly? Well, if it is the belt itself, try a Gatorback, they are supposed to be great. It'll cost you a few bucks more than the Ford one, but I'm told it is well worth it.
But, you're describing two belts being squeaky in a relatively new truck. Are you sure it is the belt itslef, or do you think maybe the tensioner or a pulley is to blame? You may want to investigate that before dropping a new belt in. I believe Ford says the belts should last somewhere around 60,000 miles. Good luck!

battery light flickers after changing serpentine belt
We are trying to figure out why the battery would flicker, not all the time, just when you idle and hold the break or when you put on the heater- last night it was right around 9 on the meter, but this morning it was totally charged.. do we have too big of a belt, or is our alternator going bad? Please help, please help fast!! Thank you!
