Well we just got over 55 hours of white out condtions/blizzards of blowing snow about 60 mph. My truck started up fine, but my engine compartment was full of snow. I cleaned as much as I could from the belt before starting. After the second day, yesterday, my truck starting whining like the belt was slipping, and a clicking sound. Could this be a pulley going out? Pulley bearing from something? Truck has 10,700 miles. Stock.

If I took of the belt would I be able to find out which one is making this noise by turning it by hand?

I put the truck in a shop with heat, and put a space heater to it to get all the snow melted from the engine compartment and under the truck. 2.5 hours and not all melted from under the truck.

I dont want to break anything else by this problem, so I am not using the truck that much. Any suggestions?

You might get it thawed out really good, and then start it with the hood open, and maybe you can tell where the noise is coming from. Look at the belt really close, see if it looks like it has a bad spot in it (might have got damaged by the snow and ice) Then, try spraying some belt dressing on it, and see if that stops the noise.
