4.0L Motor Squeal

Hope Springs Hauler · 12-18-2008, 02:33 PM

In the jeep, a high pitched squeel developed today. I isolated it to the engine (clutch in or in neutral, noise stops). The noise develops @ 2000rpm or above. It will do it sitting still. I'm thinking it is something on belt driven side. The idler puley can be spun by hand with the motor stopped.

Opinions? I don't just want to throw usless $$$ at it, but I don't want it to fall off when I go 'wheeling.
