Loud squeak when cold start?
Ok, so I have a 1998 3.0L 5spd manual. Everytime I cold start it when its a little chilly outside it makes a loud squeak/squaking sound? What could this be? hopefully nothing serious...Sounds like its coming from right under the cab. Not around the belt at all

Duh. I wasn't thinking. 3.0 has a problem with the cam syncro sensor. It squeals when its going bad and you said it sounds like its coming from the front of the cab. Well that sensor is where the distributor would be on something like a older v8.
Change it now or else when it fails 100% your engine is toast. If that indeed is your problem.

This happens to me too (4.0) whenever its humid, wet, or really cold out..
I posted a looong time ago on one of these forums, can't remember which, but someone suggested using a Gatorback Belt
Haven't tried it yet since winter just started but I'll def be lookin' into it this season.
Just a suggestion..
