I've got a 350 TPI and as soon as I start the engine it starts whining pretty loudly, not horribly loud but all of my belts are fine with the exceptions of a little crack here and there, nothing huge, and was wondering if it's just a cold belt or what the issue could possibly be.

 

It's possible you're low on power steering fluid, in which case it'll be especially noisy when turning the wheel. If not then try to hear if it's coming directly from the alternator; if that's the case then it's probably on its way out.

 

Maybe it's just normal who knows cause it's not coming from the alternator and the power steering fluid is fine, I'm guessing cold belt in the morning

 

Could be your ps pump is bad full or not.

 

Maybe it's my wife - she whines alot some days!

And I wouldn't be surprised if you could hear it there!

 

may be front pump in the trans starting to make noise check your tranny fluid.

 

I have been told both can be fixed by a mechanic..

 

check the water pump as well the berings will start to whine when its on its way out loosen the belt and try to shake the shaft back and forth if it moves at all replace it it ain't but luke 20 bucks

 

It is noisier when you turn the wheel??
