Here was my day: Watched video. Went to auto Zone and got dielectric lube. Drove home. Applied Dielectric lube and let it work through the belt. Total time=30min. My wife thinks I'm working on this all day, but I'm really drinking coffee and watching TV in the garage..lol
I have a 1996 F250 equipped with the 7.3. I replaced 2 belts, 2 tensioners (I thought I got a defective one), upper idler pulley, and lower idler puller and none of them fixed the squeal.

Works like a charm I’ve been using this for over 10 years went to the dealership they replaced my water pump my belt checked alignment of pulleys and they could not stop the squeak one of the older mechanics put a little dielectric grease on the inside of the belt no more squeak. I don’t care what anybody says it works for me.
The same thing happened to me after spending over $500 to change out the tensioner pulley and other pulleys and still squealing. 😔$ 2 later to put some dielectric grease, and vualà, no more squealing.
Hey! I just fixed my belt squealing! After three guys "fixed" my horribly loud squeeling belt and 45 dollars later, I decided to fix it myself! Saw your video and followed your instructions and now I'm motivated to replace my Purge Valve and Solenoid myself too! Thanks!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!! I had the same symptoms as described at the start. Placed the grease as instructed and on the 1st start-up the squeak was gone!
I’ve tried it all other than dielectric grease. I’ve been battling with belt squeal for over a year. Replaced pulleys, tensioners, multiple belts, all OE GM parts, and the squeal always comes back. I just put some of this grease on and instantly stopped the squeal. Great tip. Thanks for sharing! Off to buy a new belt to throw under the rear seat just in case.
I replaced the belt, idler pully, and cleaned all the other pullies. Still, the squeak was there. Saw this video and thought what the heck and tried it. 2 months later and it just ever so slightly started to squeak again so I tried this again and no squeak. Takes literally 1 minute, $10 for multiple uses, and works. As others have said, I will keep doing this until I see the belt needs to be changed again. THANK YOU!

My mechanic mentor back in the day said to spray a little silicone on there and I saw it work many times. I tried that first when the belt on my 6.7 Cummins started chirping (belt is not cracked or brittle etc.) The spray worked but didn’t last very long so I hopped on here to see if there were any more hacks. I had a bottle of dielectric grease in my tool box and tried this immediately after watching. Worked perfectly!!! I put it on 4 different spots in the belt because it’s a beast of an engine and a massive belt. Thank you for this tip! I’ll keep doing this until the belt actually shows signs of needing to be replaced.
Glad it's helped so many people! It just dosent work if there's a mechanical issue causing the squall like a bad pully or something locked up! Thanks for watching!!

I removed, and replaced with new serpentine belt, power steering pump, and power steering pulley, but still had a bit of squeeling. I purchased some dielectric grease and applied it and in seconds the squeeling was gone. Thank you for this video!
THIS 100% WORKS!!! I have a '12 JKU Wrangler- belt would constantly squeak- no matter temp time of day or what I did. W-D 40, soap, boardwax, Burts bee's.... nothing worked for any amount of longevity!!! Until I tried the DIELECTRIC GREASE!!! This is the ticket- works immediately and last for several months!!! Thank you for the heads up!!!
This car has had the belt squeak in it since I bought it 3-4 years ago. I tried what you said to do earlier this evening. When I shut the car off it was still making noise. I put the dielectric grease on the belt got back in and started it, no squeak at all. Didn't take any time because the moment I started it there was none. I'm grateful.
@@DrDemp One more, then I'll leave it be. Started the car, first start of the day; no squeak, no chirp, nothing but a quick, quiet, start. It is nice. Once again, thank you.
Come back to confirm! Actually it’s work!🎉 After watched this video I went to Lowe store yesterday to get Dielectric exactly same thing that you have on video! I applied on the belt, started my car and boom!! there is no squeaky sound And then I drove home happily this morning I started my car again and no squeaky sound !! Thank you so much.
November 2024 and worked perfectly on my 1990 5.8L Bronco's belt. $10 for a bigger tube of dielectric grease and about 5 minutes to Advanced Auto Parts. Did it in the parking lot, left with no squealing. I do recommend testing your belt first by spraying water on the tread side of the belt to see if the squealing goes away. If it does then the grease will be your solution. If it doesn't...... check bearings, belt alignment, wobbly pulley...
Thanks for your update and definitely glad if helped you and so many people just passed a quarter of a million VIEWS on this video 🙏 definitely good tips and i made a part 2 detailing what to check and look for BEFORE trying this quick fix! It won't work if there is a pully or bearing problem, which should always be checked! Thanks for watching!
Man I just rebuilt the front end on my 6.0. New belts, pulleys, seals etc. I bought the expensive belt cause it's an sob to change and being me I spilled coolant on it when refilling the fluids, so this thing has squeeked for 10k miles now. I've tried everything and was going to replace the belt today.... I got on here as a last ditch effort to not spend another $150.00 bucks and lean new curse words all day long while scarring the neighbors at the same time. This worked and now I'm going to but a new knife instead. Thanks man! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for the help!! Did this on my 96 Honda civic and so far so good! For years I would have this squeak problem and it would always make a loud squeak whenever I turn on the AC. Thought it was a worn off belt but they still look new. After putting grease on it, it’s not squeaking at all! Thank you!!
BRAVO!!! Solved my squealing belt right now. I ordered a new belt but it's gonna be 6 days for delivery. I may just return it once it arrives. I drive very little, so this one application may last me a year or 2. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I have a Escalade and every time I go through the auto wash my belt would squeak for 3 days. I replaced the belt 2 times in the past 3 years and I’ve replaced the tensioner. All the pulleys are good and they run true. I’ve tried a bunch of different lubricants and your video is the only thing that worked for me. THANKS AGAIN 😊

I could barely hear the lady in the drive-through over the constant belt squeal in my van. I found this video, grabbed my food and drove .25 of a mile to autozone. After spending $1.50 on a one-time use packet of dielectric protectant and them giving me a single nitrile glove, my belt sqeal was gone before my fries were cold.
One of my favorite comments ever on my channel! Thanks for the smile! Glad I could help. Always check your belt components for wear as well. See part 2 of this belt video for more tips on this. th-cam.com/video/EZ4FHWqijOY/w-d-xo.html
THANK YOU! The squeaky belt is sooooo embarrassing especially when my truck is only a year old! $12.99 I’ll pay that any day of the week to keep that squeak AWAY! You are GREAT!
I have an 01express van, 4.3, I replaced the belt, tensioner pulley, and idler pulley, and it still squeaks, gonna try this trick, thank you for sharing, great job!
@@justanotheruser101 yes, it works, but its temporary, it works for a few days, but then the squealing comes back, I reapply and I'm good for 2 to 3 days, its better than listening to the squeals, thanks:)
Likely time for a new belt in that case. Be sure not to use too much or slippage can occur. And check all components, you may have one causing drag and slipping, or a tensioner not giving the proper tension.

Even brand new belts can squeak. This is intended to be a Tip. Check out Part 2 for more tips and always check all your components and belt condition. Thanks for watching.
@4:42 You can see an electric volt shot from the pulley to frame. i can almost guarantee you have a pulley that has a bad bearing, causing a static electric discharge. I can almost bet you have intermittent electronic issue that come and go
Incorrect. There was no electric shock, or bad pully on this car... however I recommend testing all pullies as well as the tensioner before putting anything on your belt.
@DrDemp So please watch the video and pay attention at @4:42 you will see a spark from idler pulley this is fraction electric shock or static buildup if you will. I have seen this on many cars. If you watch closely you will see it. If you believe im wrong then please explain what was the jump of the spark gap from pulley to frame is from then
@@UGoPoundSand there are arcs all over the place jumping from multiple pulleys, i didnt even notice until i read your comment. Even on the bottom left of the screen there is an arc, not even coming from any pulley @4:54. I dont know what it is but it definitely exists. Interesting!
This worked wonders on my 5.9l Cummins squeaked like crazy. Had it to shop, replaced belt and pulleys few weeks later the squeak was back. Hopefully this will help keep it from squeaking
Thank you so much for this!!🙏 I tried with WD40 and it made it 10x worse, I then immediatly applied dielectric grease like you said and the horrible squeaking stopped immediately!
I highly recommend 303 aerospace. It’s the best rubber rejuvenator I’ve found. It lubricants rubber. The rubber soaks it up. Try it and see what you think. I think it’ll do what you want and last longer. Once a year.
@@DrDemp Someone posted a video (I saw it quite a while back) using 303 I think to soak a new timing belt in. They said it makes it last forever as well as new tires. It must have properties that penetrate rubber and give it strength
Chevy suburban 5.3 here. Almost 220k. I've have over the last few years replaced the power steering pump, tensioner and idler (not just the pulley), alternator, water pump, and a couple different brand (dayco and continental) belts. My squeal started with a power steering pump blowout. I figured the belt got contaminated, replaced the belt and thoroughly cleaned the pulleys. I think it was the alignment of the power steering pump pulley is a tiny bit off and it causes the belt to 'sing' under certain conditions (cool damp). Re-aligned this by pressing the pulley on a mm more. Definitely the tensioner and idler were bad bearings too at some point, slightly different noise. Probably a chirp coming from the alternator bearing. Water pump was just starting to leak a bit but didn't make noise. But the singing squeal always comes back driving me nuts. Tried the soap. Belt dressing. The spray water test confirmed it was not a pulley bearing. Just belt noise. I think the PS is still not perfectly aligned and it rubs the side of the pulley ever so slightly. Using a sparing amount of this CRC dielectric did the trick. I keep the spare belts in the vehicle and even a spare tensioner. And tools to change the belt if necessary, something I have gotten pretty good at.
Had the worst constant squeak in my work van, even with new pulleys, a new belt, and tensioner. Tried every kind of lubricant, baby powder, deodorant, soap, anything. A couple dabs of grease and instant peace and quiet 👌🏽
I own a 2004 Nissan Frontier 2.4 liter. My belt has been squealing for a long time. I have 3 belts. Unfortunately the back belt squeals. After looking closely at the belt, it has a small bump on the top. In the past I have used belt dressing on my 66 Chevy. Worked for about 1-2 days and squeals again. Anyway after using the same Dielectric Grease, the squeal stopped immediately. Thanks for your help! 👍🏻 Saved me from breaking my back on replacing another belt.
This stuff works. Ive been having this squeal ony 07 tacoma. I checked all components. Belt is good. Not sure what else to try and this fixed the issue.
So glad this video has reached so many people around the world and makes me happy I could share something Ive used for so many years. Thanks for supporting my TH-cam channel.
Worked for me too for 2008 S63 AMG, bought the same crc dielectric grease at oreilly, put grease on two spots on the belt, ran the car warm and also on a cold start next morning and no cold start squeak. My belt is 4 months old.
IMPORTANT to have all your belt SIZES checked. Slightly wrong sized A/C belt costed me 3 crankshaft pulleys and numerous (unnecessary) belt changes (alt/ac/pwr-steering).
So not to crap on this video but dielectric grease is not always going to be the solution. I had a squeaky belt and applied some dielectric grease. Immediately it silenced the belt. I then drove the car and about five miles into my drive the belt started squeaking worse than what it was doing beforehand. Since I already had a new belt from RockAuto, I went ahead and changed the belt and - bam noise was gone. Sorry to be "that guy" but this didn't work for me. Not saying it won't for you who are reading this, but just understand that like everything, your mileage will vary. Thank you for the video nonetheless!
I did mine today and the dielectric grease trick works folks. I applied the 1 inch bead on my finger and did that x2. And a lil later on when car hasn't been running a bit when the belt would squeak for a good 20 seconds it did this small faint chirp sound and so I applied 2 other 1 inch beads on i think on other parts of.belt i.dont know since I couldn't see the under side of belt it's a 2008 hyundai elantra very tight very tight That said I'm been driving 5he car off and on all day I'm a chinese delivery driver and havnt heard a noise since However feeling the ribs of the belt my belt is worn and I put in an order for new belt from amazon anyway but the noise is gone man. If ur belt is worn the belts new are like 20 bucks or less so super affordable. It's a DIY job via watching a youtube dude doing it but mostly can be done at home if h have tools and a garage But if its worn this is something to replace not like a dead lightbulb or some small cosmetics stuff where u just say fuck it. Believe me this squeak itself has been going on for about 30 days now I just now spent some time to figure its remedy. I love working on my car but i have other expenses and shit everything for car jobs the money just gets higher and higher like man I wish it was cheaper. I hardly go to.mechanic I feel I get ripped for barely anything done man. Only tires I go to.shopz.. Ovr/out
Thank you for your reply, definitely agree if the belt is worn replace it!! When in doubt replace the belt. But even brand new belts can squeak after a matter of a week. This tip is ment to condition the rubber and stop those small squeaks. Thanks for watching and be sure to watch part 2 for more tips!
great job! i subs'd! how come dielectric grease is the specific grease that works, whats the thinking? it wont fix idler pulley squeaks rite? Q2. if it still squeaked after the grease, then its the pulleys, tensioner pulley rite? thanks
Tried this out today. Was hearing an intermittent sound from the timing belt with the AC engaged. Will let you know how it works. Thanks for the suggestion.
Adding grease is reducing friction on your belt, thus making everything like water pump, AC, alternator and etc working less of it's potential... You are just making the belt slip more. The correct way is to clean the belt and all pulleys, if squeak is still there, time to change belt or pulleys (inspect carefully, it may be bad bearings or bad aligment , there is a way to check that before doing any operations). But if you do this method, just don't overdo it, spray as much just to stop the squeak.
Would not recommend it. Check out Part 2 for more tips and be sure to give it a big LIKE to help promote my channel to a larger audience! Part 2: th-cam.com/video/EZ4FHWqijOY/w-d-xo.html
No kidding. This really works? So I have a 1010 f150 and it started squeaking. I got a Gates serpentine kit, with all the pulleys replaced and cleaned everything, and it was quiet for a year . I looked at everything again and the pulleys were getting loose at the bearing. I got a new one under warrantee. That lasted a year and started squeaking. Everything was fine. I tried belt dressing (which by the way is not recommended on serpentine belts (and not regular one either in my opinion). Worked for a day. Tried baby powder, worked a month, Graphite. worked a month. Silicone spray worked for a while. Everything but this. I ended up replacing the year and a half old gates with a Bando (Love BANDO BELTS by the way. its all I buy now) Problem has been solved for 2 years. However I think the problem is in the rubber material composition or quality. Perhaps the better belts have a bit of silicone rubber in them. Or grease from worn seals Dirt. your guess. From now on, if it squeaks I'll try this suggestion. I use silicone grease all the time. on rubber seals and window tracks. In Short I'm embarrassed I did not think of grease (clear silicone dielectric grease). Thanks Man!
Putting a very small amount as shown in the video conditions the belt. Just like putting lotion on dry skin. Using just the right amount is key. I've used this trick for 10+ years with no problems. Thanks for supporting my channel.
Sounds like you have a possible tensioner problem if it is no longer engaging the A/C compressor.. or even the Compressor itself was on its way out locking up. And that could have been the root cause of your belt sqeak. Keep in mine this trick only works for a belt related sqeak not a component failure causing the belt to slip and squall. Thanks for supporting my channel!
I would think it would be the pulleys that are squeaking. Maybe try lubing the shafts that the pulleys rotate on. I would do this first, before putting grease on a belt.
You my friend have a new subscriber. After the application, I started it up. I thought it would squeak then go away. NO SQUEAK AT ALL. You saved me at least $250.00..

I removed, and replaced with new serpentine belt, power steering pump, and power steering pulley, but still had a bit of squeeling. I purchased some dielectric grease and applied it and in seconds the squeeling was gone. Thank you for this video!
Awesome glad it solved your problem!
THIS 100% WORKS!!!
I have a '12 JKU Wrangler- belt would constantly squeak- no matter temp time of day or what I did. W-D 40, soap, boardwax, Burts bee's.... nothing worked for any amount of longevity!!! Until I tried the DIELECTRIC GREASE!!! This is the ticket- works immediately and last for several months!!!
Thank you for the heads up!!!

This car has had the belt squeak in it since I bought it 3-4 years ago.
I tried what you said to do earlier this evening.
When I shut the car off it was still making noise. I put the dielectric grease on the belt got back in and started it, no squeak at all. Didn't take any time because the moment I started it there was none.
I'm grateful.
Glad to hear it worked great for you! Thanks for supporting the channel with a comment!
@@DrDemp One more, then I'll leave it be.
Started the car, first start of the day; no squeak, no chirp, nothing but a quick, quiet, start. It is nice.
Once again, thank you.
Come back to confirm!
Actually it’s work!🎉
After watched this video I went to Lowe store yesterday to get Dielectric exactly same thing that you have on video!
I applied on the belt, started my car and boom!! there is no squeaky sound And then I drove home happily this morning I started my car again and no squeaky sound !! Thank you so much.
November 2024 and worked perfectly on my 1990 5.8L Bronco's belt. $10 for a bigger tube of dielectric grease and about 5 minutes to Advanced Auto Parts. Did it in the parking lot, left with no squealing. I do recommend testing your belt first by spraying water on the tread side of the belt to see if the squealing goes away. If it does then the grease will be your solution. If it doesn't...... check bearings, belt alignment, wobbly pulley...
Thanks for your update and definitely glad if helped you and so many people just passed a quarter of a million VIEWS on this video 🙏 definitely good tips and i made a part 2 detailing what to check and look for BEFORE trying this quick fix! It won't work if there is a pully or bearing problem, which should always be checked!
Thanks for watching!
th-cam.com/video/EZ4FHWqijOY/w-d-xo.html
ok I tried it. Squeak is gone, so now I know that the squeak is caused by the ribbed side of the belt. Thank you. So far, 4 days without squeaking.
Glad it worked I deserve a tip with smashing that like button!! ☺️
@@DrDemp I did ! Belt is still quiet as of June 8, 2023 !! Thank you !!
Man I just rebuilt the front end on my 6.0. New belts, pulleys, seals etc. I bought the expensive belt cause it's an sob to change and being me I spilled coolant on it when refilling the fluids, so this thing has squeeked for 10k miles now. I've tried everything and was going to replace the belt today.... I got on here as a last ditch effort to not spend another $150.00 bucks and lean new curse words all day long while scarring the neighbors at the same time. This worked and now I'm going to but a new knife instead. Thanks man! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saving a little money is always a good thing! Glad I could help!
Brilliant !!! Thank you for this ,I have had a constant chirping that has been driving me crazy and this worked!
Thank you so much for the help!! Did this on my 96 Honda civic and so far so good! For years I would have this squeak problem and it would always make a loud squeak whenever I turn on the AC. Thought it was a worn off belt but they still look new. After putting grease on it, it’s not squeaking at all! Thank you!!
BRAVO!!! Solved my squealing belt right now. I ordered a new belt but it's gonna be 6 days for delivery. I may just return it once it arrives. I drive very little, so this one application may last me a year or 2. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I have a Escalade and every time I go through the auto wash my belt would squeak for 3 days. I replaced the belt 2 times in the past 3 years and I’ve replaced the tensioner. All the pulleys are good and they run true. I’ve tried a bunch of different lubricants and your video is the only thing that worked for me. THANKS AGAIN 😊

I could barely hear the lady in the drive-through over the constant belt squeal in my van. I found this video, grabbed my food and drove .25 of a mile to autozone. After spending $1.50 on a one-time use packet of dielectric protectant and them giving me a single nitrile glove, my belt sqeal was gone before my fries were cold.
One of my favorite comments ever on my channel! Thanks for the smile! Glad I could help.
Always check your belt components for wear as well. See part 2 of this belt video for more tips on this.

I have an 01express van, 4.3, I replaced the belt, tensioner pulley, and idler pulley, and it still squeaks, gonna try this trick, thank you for sharing, great job!
Any luck?? I Got the same van
@@justanotheruser101 yes, it works, but its temporary, it works for a few days, but then the squealing comes back, I reapply and I'm good for 2 to 3 days, its better than listening to the squeals, thanks:)
@@dennissecor8092 cheers man I’ll give it a go 👍🏽
Likely time for a new belt in that case. Be sure not to use too much or slippage can occur. And check all components, you may have one causing drag and slipping, or a tensioner not giving the proper tension.

Thankyou i just used on my tundra after putting new belt on and it worked
Awesome!
@4:42 You can see an electric volt shot from the pulley to frame. i can almost guarantee you have a pulley that has a bad bearing, causing a static electric discharge. I can almost bet you have intermittent electronic issue that come and go
Incorrect. There was no electric shock, or bad pully on this car... however I recommend testing all pullies as well as the tensioner before putting anything on your belt.
@DrDemp
So please watch the video and pay attention at @4:42 you will see a spark from idler pulley this is fraction electric shock or static buildup if you will. I have seen this on many cars. If you watch closely you will see it. If you believe im wrong then please explain what was the jump of the spark gap from pulley to frame is from then
@@UGoPoundSand there are arcs all over the place jumping from multiple pulleys, i didnt even notice until i read your comment. Even on the bottom left of the screen there is an arc, not even coming from any pulley @4:54. I dont know what it is but it definitely exists. Interesting!
@@UGoPoundSand wow, in slow motion (.25 speed) you can see them clearly!
Worked great thank you so much now my daughter won't me embarrassed to get dropped off in my truck till I replace the new belt
Glad it helped! Save those embarrassing moments!
This worked wonders on my 5.9l Cummins squeaked like crazy. Had it to shop, replaced belt and pulleys few weeks later the squeak was back. Hopefully this will help keep it from squeaking
Watch part 2 for additional tips and tricks! Thanks for watching!
Remember LESS is more in this case.
Thank you so much for this!!🙏 I tried with WD40 and it made it 10x worse, I then immediatly applied dielectric grease like you said and the horrible squeaking stopped immediately!
Wow that's awesome ☺️

I highly recommend 303 aerospace. It’s the best rubber rejuvenator I’ve found. It lubricants rubber. The rubber soaks it up. Try it and see what you think. I think it’ll do what you want and last longer. Once a year.
Interesting I haven't heard of that.
Thanks for supporting my channel!
@@DrDemp Someone posted a video (I saw it quite a while back) using 303 I think to soak a new timing belt in. They said it makes it last forever as well as new tires. It must have properties that penetrate rubber and give it strength
what section of Walmart can I find 303?

Figured out shortest belt that would mount properly mount ,with good pulleys and tensioner.good luck.
Shortest belt? Belts are specific to the vehicle and engine size.
This is the best stop belt squeaking idea I have use nothing else work thanks it’s excellent
Thanks for supporting my channel!!
Glad I could help!
Chevy suburban 5.3 here. Almost 220k. I've have over the last few years replaced the power steering pump, tensioner and idler (not just the pulley), alternator, water pump, and a couple different brand (dayco and continental) belts. My squeal started with a power steering pump blowout. I figured the belt got contaminated, replaced the belt and thoroughly cleaned the pulleys. I think it was the alignment of the power steering pump pulley is a tiny bit off and it causes the belt to 'sing' under certain conditions (cool damp). Re-aligned this by pressing the pulley on a mm more. Definitely the tensioner and idler were bad bearings too at some point, slightly different noise. Probably a chirp coming from the alternator bearing. Water pump was just starting to leak a bit but didn't make noise. But the singing squeal always comes back driving me nuts. Tried the soap. Belt dressing.
The spray water test confirmed it was not a pulley bearing. Just belt noise. I think the PS is still not perfectly aligned and it rubs the side of the pulley ever so slightly.
Using a sparing amount of this CRC dielectric did the trick.
I keep the spare belts in the vehicle and even a spare tensioner. And tools to change the belt if necessary, something I have gotten pretty good at.
Had the worst constant squeak in my work van, even with new pulleys, a new belt, and tensioner. Tried every kind of lubricant, baby powder, deodorant, soap, anything. A couple dabs of grease and instant peace and quiet 👌🏽
I own a 2004 Nissan Frontier 2.4 liter. My belt has been squealing for a long time. I have 3 belts. Unfortunately the back belt squeals.
After looking closely at the belt, it has a small bump on the top.
In the past I have used belt dressing on my 66 Chevy. Worked for about 1-2 days and squeals again.
Anyway after using the same Dielectric Grease, the squeal stopped immediately.
Thanks for your help! 👍🏻
Saved me from breaking my back on replacing another belt.

Where did you buy it from
Wouldn't this cause the belt to slip off ?
IMPORTANT to have all your belt SIZES checked. Slightly wrong sized A/C belt costed me 3 crankshaft pulleys and numerous (unnecessary) belt changes (alt/ac/pwr-steering).
How did the Crankshaft pully get damaged?
@@DrDemp no it was misdiagnosis by a few "intelligent" mechs. still keeping them with me since anyway for future use

So not to crap on this video but dielectric grease is not always going to be the solution. I had a squeaky belt and applied some dielectric grease. Immediately it silenced the belt. I then drove the car and about five miles into my drive the belt started squeaking worse than what it was doing beforehand. Since I already had a new belt from RockAuto, I went ahead and changed the belt and - bam noise was gone. Sorry to be "that guy" but this didn't work for me. Not saying it won't for you who are reading this, but just understand that like everything, your mileage will vary. Thank you for the video nonetheless!
I appreciate all feedback! Definitely not a one size fix all, but does work under certain circumstances. Thanks for watching!
Check out part 2 for more tips and tricks.
Thanks!
My lexus gs300 is doing this right now n I'm bout to try your method preciate the video sir
Hope it works, be sure to check all the components and belt for wear.

Did you apply this on the inside of the belt?
Thank you Dr.Demp !
My ‘99 🌮 has 3 belts .i applied it to all of ‘em and chirping is gone! I used the 1.99 AZ.🙅🏻♂️😃🫵🏽
Won't the belt break if it's not fixed?
My squeal just started and was told several things. Off to buy that grease , my fingers are crossed.
🤞🏼
I did mine today and the dielectric grease trick works folks. I applied the 1 inch bead on my finger and did that x2. And a lil later on when car hasn't been running a bit when the belt would squeak for a good 20 seconds it did this small faint chirp sound and so I applied 2 other 1 inch beads on i think on other parts of.belt i.dont know since I couldn't see the under side of belt it's a 2008 hyundai elantra very tight very tight
That said I'm been driving 5he car off and on all day I'm a chinese delivery driver and havnt heard a noise since
However feeling the ribs of the belt my belt is worn and I put in an order for new belt from amazon anyway but the noise is gone man. If ur belt is worn the belts new are like 20 bucks or less so super affordable. It's a DIY job via watching a youtube dude doing it but mostly can be done at home if h have tools and a garage
But if its worn this is something to replace not like a dead lightbulb or some small cosmetics stuff where u just say fuck it. Believe me this squeak itself has been going on for about 30 days now I just now spent some time to figure its remedy. I love working on my car but i have other expenses and shit everything for car jobs the money just gets higher and higher like man I wish it was cheaper. I hardly go to.mechanic I feel I get ripped for barely anything done man. Only tires I go to.shopz..
Ovr/out
Thank you for your reply, definitely agree if the belt is worn replace it!! When in doubt replace the belt. But even brand new belts can squeak after a matter of a week. This tip is ment to condition the rubber and stop those small squeaks.
Thanks for watching and be sure to watch part 2 for more tips!
How long did the squeal go away from
Ours started squeaking after a while. Took it off, refitted. No change. Gave this a go. Boom, solved
Love hearing all the success stories even after 2 years of me making this! 🤩
The gift that keeps on giving.
great job! i subs'd! how come dielectric grease is the specific grease that works, whats the thinking? it wont fix idler pulley squeaks rite? Q2. if it still squeaked after the grease, then its the pulleys, tensioner pulley rite? thanks
Thank you,.....your idea with the grease works very well.
Thanks for supporting my channel! Glad I could help!
Any brand of dialectic grease works? Happy holidays!
Links in description to one used in the video. Less is more, part 2 has alot more tips.
Tried this out today. Was hearing an intermittent sound from the timing belt with the AC engaged. Will let you know how it works. Thanks for the suggestion.
Part 2:
th-cam.com/video/EZ4FHWqijOY/w-d-xo.html
@@DrDemp Thanks. Just watched it.
Adding grease is reducing friction on your belt, thus making everything like water pump, AC, alternator and etc working less of it's potential... You are just making the belt slip more. The correct way is to clean the belt and all pulleys, if squeak is still there, time to change belt or pulleys (inspect carefully, it may be bad bearings or bad aligment , there is a way to check that before doing any operations). But if you do this method, just don't overdo it, spray as much just to stop the squeak.
That is why he says only put a smidge on ur finger and on 2 places on the belt when applying.
Water pump/AC Compressor/Idler/ 2 belts/ Alternator/Tensioner, still get squeal on cold start for 10-15 seconds. I pray this works
How do i find this. Or something similar in the uk.
Link in the description to amazon.
Does it work on the smooth side of the belt as well?
The smooth side doesn't cause the squeak in my experience.
Is there another name for this grease? Is it basically a silicone grease gel?
Dielectric
Hope long does it last?
It can vary greatly it's not a one size fix all solution, definitely must check all components first. Check belt for wear.
Worked like a champ!

Thank you that works pretty good. WD-40 does not last long at appreciate it.
WD 40 is Petroleum based, that will eat the rubber.
Thank you I didn’t know that that’s what I was told to do before from other people make sense
Yup. This works extremely well. Thank you, sir!
Glad it helped! Now if I only had the shop fee I've saved everyone with this video I could quit my day job. 🤣
Petroleum jelly?? Is this similar??
Petroleum jelly is Petroleum based. This will damage your belt.
Lol yeah I'm in Australia and never heard of that stuff before, I just washed all my pulleys a belt and now it's quiet as 👍🏼
Can I put wd40

No kidding. This really works? So I have a 1010 f150 and it started squeaking. I got a Gates serpentine kit, with all the pulleys replaced and cleaned everything, and it was quiet for a year . I looked at everything again and the pulleys were getting loose at the bearing. I got a new one under warrantee. That lasted a year and started squeaking. Everything was fine. I tried belt dressing (which by the way is not recommended on serpentine belts (and not regular one either in my opinion). Worked for a day. Tried baby powder, worked a month, Graphite. worked a month. Silicone spray worked for a while. Everything but this. I ended up replacing the year and a half old gates with a Bando (Love BANDO BELTS by the way. its all I buy now) Problem has been solved for 2 years. However I think the problem is in the rubber material composition or quality. Perhaps the better belts have a bit of silicone rubber in them. Or grease from worn seals Dirt. your guess. From now on, if it squeaks I'll try this suggestion. I use silicone grease all the time. on rubber seals and window tracks. In Short I'm embarrassed I did not think of grease (clear silicone dielectric grease). Thanks Man!
Your welcome it's great for belts but only in a very very small amount! Less is more! Thanks for stopping by!!
Wont grease make the belt slip?
Putting a very small amount as shown in the video conditions the belt. Just like putting lotion on dry skin. Using just the right amount is key. I've used this trick for 10+ years with no problems.
Thanks for supporting my channel.
I did this, and AC stopped working on normal parameters . Definitely my belt started slipping .
Sounds like you have a possible tensioner problem if it is no longer engaging the A/C compressor.. or even the Compressor itself was on its way out locking up. And that could have been the root cause of your belt sqeak. Keep in mine this trick only works for a belt related sqeak not a component failure causing the belt to slip and squall.
Thanks for supporting my channel!
@@DrDemp Thank you, I will check this :)
I would think it would be the pulleys that are squeaking. Maybe try lubing the shafts that the pulleys rotate on. I would do this first, before putting grease on a belt.
It's silicone, the same thing that is in the can that's called "Belt Conditioner"
