Yes they are. You unfortunately will find out soon enough. There will be a lot of people on here that will tell you that the "squeak" is “normal” but trust me… it’s not. Their time WILL come sooner or later
So our work truck cummins with over 500k on the motor will have its time come sooner or later? it chirps every time at shutdown

Gentleman, let's not get off track here. It looks like Truckjunkie is a shredding victim like some of us.

Let me say it ONE last time:

YES, the chirp is NORMAL. On MOST vehicles, it will do no harm. SOME engines that MAY have a weak, defective, or otherwise sunstandard AND/OR improperly installed belt, the STRAIN that causes the chirping MAY contribute to premature belt failure. The RIBBED belts seem to chirp MORE than the crosshatched belts, which chirp less.

Phew..............
