 | Depending on the vehicle they can come with a manual belt tensioner or an automatic (spring loaded) belt tensioner. I have no idea which your vehicle has but if proper tension isn't present squealing will occur. Do you know if you have a automatic tensioner or do you have to wrench on a bolt to get the belt to tighten up??

| Sounds like you got the automatic tensioner then, do you notice this moving back and forth as the engine is running? A loose or weak tensioner in this case could lead to this sound.
