I`m guessing that you are trying to find out which belt is making the noise.first you need to push on each belt to see if the belts tight and not to loose,at the same time check the sides of the belts for a glaze or shiny sides as well as cracks in the belt .any belt that is to loose may just need to be tightened, any belt that is glazed or cracked needs to be replaced.if the condition of the belt is good then it probably just needs to be tightened.a trick to find which belt that maybe just loose enough is to take a wax candle or a bar of soap and with the engine running(being very careful around moving components) take and apply the wax to each side of the belt one belt at a time, when the noise stops that is the belt that needs attention either by replacement or tighting

When I start the car there's a loud sqeeking noise that goes away after 1 minute 2003 es 330

if it was mine, I would buy some "fan belt dressing spray" and spray my fan belts or have them adjusted. first spray them once, if sound stops a few days, have the tension adjusted. if spray does not work the first time, this is not the problem.

What size engine and transmission do i need for 24inch rims?

best bang for your buck 350 cid with a turbo 350 or 700r4 ... the 350 engine can be stroked out to 383 using the internals:pistons and crank from a 400 in big block... but just stroking a 350 on a hot tranny with low gears to drive those big wheels is important get a 4;11 low gear ratio you ll be able to drag that monster.

2003 jeep cherokee 2.8 CRD engine sqeeking noise

It could be that you got some water on your serpentine belt and that will cause it to squeak. Try buying a can of "belt dressing" from an auto store and spray it all over your belt and see if that will stop it. It's a cheap and easy thing to try before replacing expensive parts. Hope this works for you, let me know how it goes. Goodluck!

Need to know what other transmissions can bolt up to a 70 olds cutlass 350?

Tou can use any olds pont or buick 350 out of an earlier car that had a V-8. you can also install a 400 using a crossmember from a car that had a200r4 tranny in it. providing your car has a frame mount welded in on the left frame rail. otherwise you have to relocate the tranny mount on the exsisting crossmember.
I have an 81 buick that now has a455 olds with a th400 in it, I asol have an 80 cutlass with a 403 and th350 from a 78 pont wagon in it
the trick is to use the non lock-up version of the TH350.

Hope this helps

Just puchased a 1998 trooper runs loud

It sound like you have a timing belt tensioner that is bad. Is the noise at the front of engine? If it is replace tensioner,timing belt and water pump. The pump is driven by the timing belt.
