Evening everybody, Hopefully some of you can answer my question. Under wide open throttle, when its damp out or raining, My belt sometimes squeals when the rpms hit around 4500 - 5000, so I would believe that its slipping. What can I do to fix this problem, thanks

 

Buy and install a Gotorback belt.

Replace the belt with a new one. Yours is starting to glaze.

Gatorbacks are good belts, but a new Motorcraft or Kelly Springfield will also serve you well.

Before you buy a new belt, check to make sure that the tensioner is moving freely. My belt used to chirp when I started my truck and I found that the tensioner was seized. I was able to remove it and clean & lube it. It was as good as new when I replaced it. I have 215,000 kms on my original belt and it's still fine. You may still need a new belt but check it all first. GlennMc.
