Couldn't my ? I have cancer and was too ill to run my truck, for almost a year. I ran it the other day with no problems but today it makes this horrendous sound, like whining belts. LOUD and whiny and smells like burning rubber? Do I need to put some kind of lubricant on the engine after it sits?

The belts don't appear damaged but I did think I smelled Burning. Should I wash the engine, could be grit from sirring there?

its gonna make some noises, i would after sitting for a year. I would look at replacing the belts and hoses. Also you might want to look and make sure something isnt locked up. like a water pump or alternator or some other accessory.
I hope your cancer is in remission and may you beat it.

The $60 threw me off for a few moments there. You may have a problem with either a worn belt that has stretched and is slipping and squealing because of it, or you may have a problem with one of the devices that are powered by the fan belts. Like the power steering, water pump, AC, or alternator.

sounds to me as something has locked up... depending on which belt looks damaged....
