420A AF/X underdrive pulley (UDP) Squeak

[FreStylMotoX01]

ok i have the AF/X Underdrive pulley installed on my car. i had it done over a year ago and just recently it started squeaking really bad, whether it is rainy or just cold or at night it is irritating. anyway i remember that this was somewhat common back when i was researching it, but was wondering if anyone has cured this, i searched but didn't come up with what i was looking for. thanks

make sure the belt is nice and tight...remember the tensioner pully bolt is reverse threded....also you may want to invest in a can of belt dressing....get it at napa for about $3 is just tar basically and it coats the belt...will stop the squaking

well if you havent solved it yet i got a smaller belt, the belt that came with mine was a little to long and i had everything maxed out but it was still a little loose. Went with a smaller belt, problem solved.

1. Tighten the belt.
2. Apply belt dressing if tightening doesn't help, although...
3. Replace the belt. People tend to speak highly of the Goodyear Gatorback belts. A search on 2GNT.net will get you the part number.

That's the steps I would take.

I thought belt dressings were cosidered a no no since dirt and grime will be more likely to stick to it causing premature wear?

Guess it's a personal preference thing?
