I have an intermittent squeek coming from the front of the engine at idle...its like squeek squeek squeek squeek...etc.. Is it just the belt, or do I need to worry about something else?

 

i say its the belt...mine's been squeeking on and off for 3 years...if it really bothers me i'll sprinkle light baby power on there before i start it and it goes away for a few months

 

My local autozone carried the goodyear gatorback belt, very quiet and got rid of the shutdown "power chirp" as well. Good investment for $7 more than the generic belt.

 

Thanks guys, I figured it was just the belt, but it's raining and I really don't want to go check the belt in the rain so i figured i would get any other ideas before I go check it so I don't have to stand in the rain scratching my head! I'm sure my pickup is in shock also because it hasn't been rained on in months!
