How can you make the belt on a 1994 gmc van quit making noise?

1. Inspect the belt. The first step is to inspect the belt for any signs of wear or damage. Look for cracks, tears, or fraying. If you see any damage, the belt will need to be replaced.

2. Check the belt tension. The next step is to check the belt tension. The belt should be tight enough to prevent it from slipping, but not so tight that it puts excessive strain on the engine. You can check the belt tension by using a belt tension gauge.

3. Lubricate the belt. If the belt is not slipping and is properly tensioned, you may be able to stop the noise by lubricating it. You can use a silicone-based lubricant or a dry lubricant.

4. Replace the belt. If none of the above steps work, you will need to replace the belt. When replacing the belt, be sure to use the correct size belt and install it correctly.

Here are some additional tips for quieting a noisy belt:

* Use a high-quality belt.

* Make sure the belt is properly aligned.

* Avoid over-tightening the belt.

* Keep the engine compartment clean and free of debris.
