from your avatar i guess you got 2.8?
you havnt got cam belt so thats a +, probably alternator belt or one of the others, at worst it could be your water pump or alternator, start with belts, check for cracking of belts also, do you know when it was last serviced.

if you aint 100% sure its been serviced, then get it done. I was told mine had been " fully serviced" ( my arse). its the only way to be sure :wink:

depends on the grade they put in, and to be fair it does go black almost straight away. As i said before the only way to be 100% sure is have it changed again, along with the A/T oil, and check your diff oils and fuel, and air filter while your at it. Least then you have got a starting point for your servicing regime oh, and bung some injector cleaner in, it makes all the difference

If the belt is causing the squeak, just hold a bar of soap against the inside running side of the belt with the engine running, but watch your fingers. We do it a lot here as the heat drys the belts out very quick :D

a squirt of wd does a similar job to stop belts squelling for short periods.


And you can keep your fingers too :lol:
