Subject:Squeal, no squeal
From:Kim Brennan

So, my alternator belt (Tiico engine) had been squealing for a couple
of months (note: this isn't a daily driver.) It was one of those
roundtuits.

Then tonight I run it out for some gas. No squealing. Cool. or rather
no so cool. AC needs attention.

So I get gas and drive back home (round trip about 5 miles). Pop the
engine cover and start to work on the checking the AC...noticed I don't
have an alternator belt. Oops.

Grabbed one of the spares, threw a can of freon in to top off the AC
and cold AC again...and I'm charging the battery too!
