One of the two belts on our '74 Suburban is squealing. I dont know which one it is or how to fix it.it starts squealin as soon as I put it in gear and it dosent stop untill its going 30-35. I tried tightning and loosening the alternator belt but it didnt help a thing.Thanks for any and all help. :(

get your engine warm ....after that take an ordinary candle and rub it on the bottom side of one of your belt ..... id do one at a time to trouble shoot .... this should stop the squealing once you find the noisey belt ....any questions let me know ...hope this helps

I would try changing the belt . Does the truck have AC? It sounds like maybe the compressor is trying to lock up.
