Replaced the serpentine belt, not sure if the noise is coming from belt tensioner, idler pulley or whatever else, what do you guys think? BTW The truck has 110,000 miles on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8-erKkaf0c

 

Sounds like you need power steering fluid!

 

sounds like power steering pump to me. have you checked your fluid level?

edit: looks like there is fluid in the resevior. get in and turn the wheel. does the sound change or get worse?

 

PS pump....

 

Thank for the replies guys,

The sound does not change when i turn the wheel, fluid is ok, and the sound always seems to be there, both when the truck is idleing and driving all speeds.

 

I know it might be a no no but did you try spraying anything on the belt to see if it goes away as it sounds the same as a binding belt to me?

Regards,
Peter

 

Just wondering if u got this figured out, i am having the same exact sound with my 2005.

 

FireFighteR6,

I did find the problem, i replaced the belt tensioner, the bearing in the belt tensioner was completley shot, id give it a try, i dont think you will have any problems doing the work yourself, Good Luck.
