Typical GM problem.

As dumb as this sounds, go with the "Gator Belt". With these super long serpentine belts, GM cars for some reason respond to them well.

I had a squeaky belt on the caddy with a standard gates belt, but when I switched to the gator belt, squeaks went away and every thing just seemed to "work better". It could be purely a placebo effect, but lots of Cadillac owners seem to go with them on the Northstars.

Battery in the truck is 100% dead, and I'd rather avoid running all of that poo poo through my fuel filter if I can. I picked up a little red pump at HF, we'll see how it goes.

I use the pump that you stick on the end of a drill. I used it to change the oil in my boat and to drain the tank in the winter. Works really well.

When was the last time you had an alignment done? I wouldn't completely say its an alignment issue but I wouldn't rule it out.

Are the calipers retracting correctly? I had an old car with a sticky caliper and it would do some of the strangest poo poo with my rears.

Pretty clean truck for the price you paid!

Put a transmission cooler on it with a flush with the correct fluid, and it will last a long time. I would think a oil cooler would be a while your at it thing.
