"i have a 99 chaparral with a 3.0l volvo in it. when starting it the motor would squeal, the belts look to be in good shape and i cant tell which one it is if any at all.
last week my problem was originally the raw water pump pulley seized up and the engine overheated and shut down. i pulled the pulley off the belt and discovered that the pulley was still good and the impeller was causing it to be locked up, although it didnt look that bad.
well, i put a new impeller in and hooked it up to the ear muffs and it ran fine. i then took it out on the water, at 6 knots it was fine however... i did see some smoke coming from somewhere and a smell of something burning...
my guess is that my thermostat is bad for the overheating as for the squeal i have no clue....
has anyone had this problem before or could you provide any insight to give me an idea where to start..
thanks in advance!"
