The V belt usually from crankshaft to altenator - sometimes the one to the power steering pump. They got to be pretty darn tight. If the sound does not dissappear you can get some spray to spray on the belt to cut down on the "glazing" on the belt - and that may shut it up. Otherwise replace the belt...and make sure this one is on tight. The glazing is caused by slipping and vibrational movement(as the belt moves up and down.
Not sure which one. Get some water and pour a shot on the one belt while the car is running to see if the noise stops temporarily. Then try the other.

you have 1 sepertine belt and maybe anothe only one???how old is the belt??cracks on the edges??? real shiney on the out side of belt?? cracks on and in the groves?? if so id change the belt out if it is new your tenshiner may be giving out. for a fast fix take some wd40 and give it a spray on the inside where the groves are as the engine is running a continues spray for a full revolution or two that will shut it up but if it is worn get it off and change it out and dont use that trick all the time but it will quiet it down for now and it may just clean it enough where it wont happen again

The belt(s) work on friction the less friction the more slippage. WD40 is oil and therefore reduces friction. A lack of friction causes it to squeak more. Most all auto parts stores as well as Wally Mart, K mart and others sell "belt dressing". I don't know of any particular brand. If you have multiple belts, spray them one at a time to determine which one is squeeking and when you have time replace it, You should replace belts at least one a year anyway. Good luck.

Simply spray a Magnum dose of silicone spray on your belts. I am concerned that the belts squeal on such a new truck. If I were you, I'd remove all the belts to be sure the alternator bearings are OK as well as the powersteering pump, ac compressor, and water pump.

Go to any parts supply and get some belt dressing. It will not cure the problem forever, as the belt is probably glazed but it will quiten it for a bit.
Belt Dressing - they'll know.

If you have tightened your belts properly & you still have noise I would suspect an idler or tensioner pully bearing starting to go bad. You need to remove the belts & spin those pulleys to hear if they are making noise

Of course, you want believers to know how silly they are to believe in a God who allows tornadoes to rip across the earth. Or perhaps you just want someone to approve of you for coming up with such a brilliant question. The truth is, believers do not follow God in order to escape danger. You have a right to your opinion, but accusing God is nothing new. Satan is his accuser and does so through folks just like you. As a matter of fact, if you know anything at all, you know Satan is a god too and that this is HIS world. That is why we, as Christians, look toward salvation and a better life after this one.

Probably the only other thing would be to replace it. A lot of times belts will squek a while before they break.

Go to your local auto parts store and ask for something called belt dressing... you simply spray this on your belts and the squeal will end !

I agree, the belt is glazed and needs to be replaced.
