Title: Mechanic
Post by: Wingnut on November 30, 2009, 04:26:48 PM: I have a 95 YJ with a 2.5L engine that I recently bought. I was sitting for almost a year but runs good. Ever since I bought it, there has been a squeak coming from the front of the motor which at first I thought was a belt squeak. Then it started getting worse. I sprayed all the pulleys with silicone lube which would quiet it down for a few minutes but it kept coming back. I tried oil and it was the same. It is worse when it warms up. This morning, it was squeaking so bed, I chose not to even drive it. Does anyone know a good, reliable Jeep mechanic that could look int this for me. It sounds like a pulley might be seizing but I am not good at wrenching on vehicles. Any help would be appreciated.

chances are that is the problem, happened in the car, more so when cold.
for me it went away at higher engine speed.

hope that might help. :)

Dave, should have asked me, I think I have a spare power steering pump kicking around.
