Drove 7 hours straight in a Procar...and also need help...

townaj · January 16th, 2012, 06:55 PM

Ok, so I'm attending Texas Tech this semester....

....and it is a 7 hour drive from home

So I made the drive up on Saturday and my 'Stang powered through like a champ!! I'm proud of it lol. Did a hour or two of 80 mph at 2600 rpm, and got 22 MPG!!!

However...the next morning I started the car and a pulley started squealing But I'm not sure which one, and I'm not about to start replacing things willy-nilly, I'm in college. It is on the passenger side of the motor only..Any recommendations on tracking it down???

But on a brighter note, I installed my Procar seat before making the drive, and I LOVED IT. My back was not sore AT ALL when I got here. I had a couple short breaks, but that was it. It actually supported me, and made me have correct posture, unlike the shitty stocker. I recommend these seats to pretty much anyone!

spray each pulley as the engine is running with wd 40 or something like that, see which one stops making noise

townaj · January 16th, 2012, 07:26 PM

Ok cool. I don't really want to play games with this crap, if it freezes up it could mess up some things lol

mustanginky · January 16th, 2012, 08:08 PM

passenger side is idler and ac compressor, so it's one of those. is it up top or down low?

86er · January 16th, 2012, 08:10 PM

been so long since i've seen a stock set up i can't remember. only went without a blower for a couple weeks before it went back on and i pretty much only remember how it is with the procharger on.

townaj · January 16th, 2012, 08:35 PM

Yeah it has the idler and the tensioner on that side. Sounds higher up...so probably not ac right?

Link to the Seats? to lazy to google... lol

86er · January 17th, 2012, 12:12 AM

just spray, takes all of 5 minutes. Idlers and tensioners are known problems on these engines. They arent expensive if it is one of those. Alt is 12 o'clock position, it usually has a grumble if it gives you fits.

How old is the belt, hell could be that

Rabid Stang · January 17th, 2012, 08:09 AM

Cycle the a/c on and off...I had a squeal when I bought mine and turned out to be the a/c clutch. Just another possibility.

+1 from the other lazy

I was gonna say if it's a high pitched whine, it could be you're low on power steering fluid. My guess is your ribbed idler. Mine went out 2 weeks ago, annoying squeal, but all it was was the bearing went bad. Nothing that a little ol' Gates pulley wouldn't fix.

Make that three.
What procar seat model we talking about?

townaj · January 17th, 2012, 05:01 PM

Ok here we go lol...

Not AC, thank god. I cycled it when I first noticed it and no change. Also not power steering, its on the other side right? I thought about it being the belt, it does look pretty old and was on the car when I bought it. I'll try to find some wd40 and check out the pulleys.

Seats are the Procar Sporstman, $156 a piece. I rigged the electric rails to work with it.

Yay!!! Those seats seems to be awesome + their price tag is attractive!!

townaj · January 18th, 2012, 03:57 PM

I really like mine so far. Especially after that long ass drive. As long as you sit with correct posture they don't hurt anything. But if you slouch, you may get a pressure point in that part of your back
