So after I start my truck up, I can press the accelerator and it will squeal really loud, But once It has been running for a few minutes it will quit doing it.. It dones't just happen on the inital start up, it does it ever time i start it through out the day. The truck has a New Water Pump, New Timing chain, and New Timing Chain Cover, and two new belts, I noticed after I put a load on the truck, JL audio 12, Amp, and foglights it would produce a slight squealing at idle, SO i tightened up the alt. belt and got rid of that problem but it still squeals on all start ups. BTW the truck does not have power steering... ANY SUGGESTIONS?
The other problem I am having is a tapping sound (soulds like a valve, or an exhaust manifold leak)... Before I got the truck the Timing chain had broke on the previous owner.. So im thinking maybe one of my valves is bent? That noise its towards the firewall side of the engine.. Any suggestions on what to do with this problem? Should I go get the valves adjusted and see if that helps, anybody know how much that cost? Or should I check the E.M. first to make sure its not leaking?
