Squeaking problem
#1
#2
I found that cheaper belts will squeak after a short period. Tried one from Napa & Advance, both were noisy within a month. Installed the best quality Gates belt that Napa carried & it's been quiet for over two years.
I even changed the three belt tensioners thinking it may have been them making the noise.
The old tensioners and belt went into the toolbox just in case.

squeaking check
Try taking a soap bar and putting on the grove of belt while running. If squeak stops you need a belt. Also check tension pulleys. They Will sound horrible when they go bad. Just pull the belt off and turn by hand if it's tight or makes any sounds then time to replace. As a rule of thumb I always replace tension pulley every time I replace the belt.
