Got a squeel type noise when hit the throttle - fan belt?

[73Charger]

My 318 has two belts on it.  Is there any way I can put something on the belt or pulley to test which one is causing the sqreeching noise?  It happens under heavy throttle - but not cruising, and if I'm in park and bring the throttle up slowly and then step on it it doesnt happen as much. i have power steering and I think one belt is just for that and the other is just for fan.

Take the easiest to remove off and let it rip.    (I was hoping it was your tires!)

does the blet squeek when the steering also !! if the blets are not loose , squirt a little WD40 on each one  at a time &   do a test !

Blet......you been drinking Tan Top? 

[73Charger]

yeah I want to get it out and get the tires spinnin' again  I tried today, but its stuck in winter/spring mud. ugh!  

I'll spray a little wd on the top belt and see what happens.  ANyone know what size/model belt that should be to replace it?  It doesn't have a/c - just a fan. thanks.

My belts were doing the same, tightened up and no problems after that.

To get rid of those squeaks you need to feed the mice more cheese. 

[73Charger]

yeah - more cheese should do it.  either that or just stop trying to show off how great it sounds     since she doesn't really have a hemi under the hood but its nice that everyone thinks there is    i'll try the wd40 thing.  I think I tried to tighten the belt before but it didn't help of course I dont have a belt stretcher device so I only did it by hand.  maybe its not tight enough. although if a belt has some paint on it - it probably wont matter how tight it is. I think it may have got some residue on it when I touched up surfaces under the hood once a few years back.

Next - get it out of the mud!

I had a horrible squel once,turned out to be one of them 318 Hemi Camaro's stuck under the k frame.   

Fan belts usually have numbers on them , or NAPA has a belt measuring device if you are not running stock belts.

If your fan / alt belt is squelling and a new tensioned belt dos not fix it ,check your fan clutch, might be siezed.

Mice can get very hungry....no doubt there.

Try this....keep your hands on the wheel and shifter. I think you'll find she stops squeeling. Women are sooooo touchy.

Seriously, mine did the same thing under the same circumstances. Turned out to be a lose PS belt.
Tighten all your belts up and let us know. Good luck.
