Hi guys-
I have an 03 H2 and a couple of days ago i started hearing an awful loud screech on start up.It goes away as soon as I start up,but it sounds awful and its pretty loud!My wife says it sounds like its coming from toward the back.Any ideas? Im really concerned-I love my H more than anything!!!!

Yeah maybe-I only used my auto start to see if I could get a fix on the sound.
Ill take her in on Monday to check it out.Doesnt happen all the time just some time.If I turn the truck off and turn it back on -after a time or 2 it goes away.

Sounds kind of like a belt squealing. After starting it a few times or letting it run, the belt warms up and gets better "traction" on the pullies. I would check the belt and idler, and also the pther pulies. Make sure it is tight and you don't have a bearing going out in anything.
