I am brand new. I'm trying to follow the rules for newbs, if I miss something just let me know.
I have 2 trucks. My 89 which is my normal driver.
I also have a 86 4runner with a 4.3 which I purchased from somebody else, but I haven't done anything with it yet. And that truck is really the reason I am jumping into this forum instead of something more tame.
But right now I have a question about the 89 3.0. I'm guessing it is something somebody will know right off.
I have a manual.
The truck started making a horrendous screaching sound from the engine,almost constant. It sounds like dead center, high, front of the motor. It sounds to me like a bearing. Sounds like it is coming from that upper pulley. I pulled the belts one at a time and tried the motor.
When I pulled the belt which runs the upper pulley and the alternator, the noise stopped.
Sound familiar?
I did try the search function.
Thanks.
