Hey everyone, how come when i shut the rattler off ( thats the name we call the truck) , it makes a short squeal from under the hood, especially when it is warm.

belt squeaking?

 

[jrmoparin91]

its your belt squeekin. your engine stops faster than your accessories. every 12 and 24v cummins does it

 

[nfkfirefighter]

Its perfectly normal.. if you let it cool down for a min before you shut it down it should be much quieter... that is perfectly normal i wouldnt worry about a thing!

Beat you all:l

It is normal. The engine suddenly lurches to a stop due to the high compression, and the accessories such as alternator, water pump, fan, etc keep turning and produce the belt chirp.

No worries :thumbsup

It is the noise from the belt squeaking with the back compression of the motor's torque. Get the slotted belt and the noise will go away. The GOODYEAR Gator Back its the quiet belt.

The GOODYEAR Gator Back its the quiet belt.

Ditto!!!!!!!!!
I put a GatorBack on mine a couple of months ago and NO more squeak.
Auto Zone is the only place I could find that had the GatorBack.

the squeak is just part of owning a diesel, some duramaxes and powerstrokes do the same thing. Mine personally doesnt UNLESS i have the a/c on and then its only one very quick lil squeak. Hopefully im not losing compression!!!

I wanna say it was in the $38 range, just don't remember.
Like I said before, around here, Auto Zone was the only store that carried it.
It's made by Goodyear. There are some other types/brands of belts out there that others will try to sell you.....stay with the GatorBack :thumbsup.
