Why is the crank pulley dampered?
No, you do not want to replace the crank pulley with a solid one. The hub is also know as a Harmonic Balancer. The explosions that happen inside of your engine cause vibrations or harmonics, the balancer greatly reduces these vibrations. Without the ruber insulating ring the harmonics can cause part failure at certain frequencies.
What if the fan belt break while driving
Dan h described what would happen if your timing belt/chain broke.. fortunately the consiquences aren't as dire if your SERPENTINE belt snaps. Most vehicles have the following systems or devices powered by the front engine accessory drive belt (FEAD belt)
AC compressor
Power steering pump
Alternator
Fan (some vehicles do and some don't)
Water pump
All but one of these things can be lived without, at least for a short time. If your belt snaps and your water pump stops your engine will overheat in no time flat., say you're cruising through a rural area and your belt snaps a mile and a half away from the next town, your car will get you there, but you had better turn it off once you get into town. After a belt snaps you've got 2 miles before you absolutely need to shut your car down to avoid damage.
A/C
replace it with a new line and have the system professionally re-gassed.
Screeching sound when cold not tha fan belt not the power steering belt not the top tensioner
It is possible you have a bad bearing in the alternator. They make an automotive stethoscope to listen for this, but sometimes you can get by using a screwdriver and pressing your ear against the handle while touching the tip to the body of the alternator. Be careful not to get the screwdriver into the alternator fan. You can generally hear a bad bearing. Perhaps a better check is to take the belt off the alternator and spin it by hand (when cold). If it turns rough, makes noise, or wobbles, the bearing is bad.
