Ditto.....loosen or remove the belt. If the noise goes away it is one of the belt driven accessories. Most likely the alternator.

You got the narrow millerspeed "gilmer" pulleys. So the sound is "normal". We install them when people insist.

Thanks for the help Jay, the previous build didnt make the same noise so I'm assuming they didn't put the gilmer pulleys on that one.

Two quick questions:
1) Why do people insist/request these?

2) What do you put on for people like me who would rather go without the whine!

Watching your video and listening to the noise, sounds like it is a belt driven noise. When you let off the belt wiggles from my view. Pulley alignment? Call the guys at Rousch!

Thanks terry-I don't think its a belt wiggle, just the sound the belt makes as it moves through the air at high speed.
