I have been really sick for the past week and have not really been able to get under my hood. i have a squeling noise from my alternator belt (since i have no A/C or P/S) and im wondering b/c i just replaced it this last summer about a month ago. Real quick i looked at it and it is frayed on the side closest to the engine. I looked at the top pulley that it is connected to, and it looks like the side by the engine is a little bent causing the belt to fray. WHAT is the name of that pulley??? ive checked and checked but prbly in all the wrong places . Where could i buy a new one??? thanx for all the help, i wanna make sure i buy the right pulley b4 i decide to buy the wrong one.

yea i would just search for an alternator pulley for 2g....I have to replace that same belt at least once a year also...it always starts to squeal especially when winter gets here and it gets colder out the belts are just so darn thin and a pain to keep tight....Ive had it break on me before while driving..not fun but yea take a look around for a 2g alternator pulley if its causing the belt to frey

the alternator pulley is the one on the alternator right?? i mean the one atteched to the engine that is right underneath the cams?? is that the alternator pulley too??

That's the water pump pulley (it's actually 2 halves). Many people put this on backwards which adds a slight offset and wears out the alt belt. Of course if it's bent that also would do it.

Probably yet another blown harmonic balancer.

It is the water pump pulley for sure.
