High pitch Squeal

[Trflex 0]

I get this short high pitch squeal every time I shut the engine off. Sounds like a belt squeal but I`m not sure. neighbor said it could be a bad damper? What say you? Tx. 2001 dodge Ram, 5.9L 47re Trans.

Fairly normal, the motor stops faster than the belt can. I beleive there is a fix, but don't recall at the moment.. could be as simple as a new belt and/or tensioner.

Put a new belt on mine too. Now, sometimes it does it, some time it doesn`t. Not much to be concerned about I suppose. (hope) Tx.

Good Ol' Cummins Power Chirp... Totally normal the engine stops rather sudden and the belt slips a bit. Mine has done it from day one...

All that noise is is your shut down attentuator. After all, if it didn't do it how would you know if it stopped or not?
