1. Make sure there is no fluid leaking that may be getting on the pulleys,check pulley alignment and check the pulleys for rust.
2. The squealing may be coming form a bad bearing in one of your accesories. Or a leak a previously stated. If its an accesory you may be able to find it by taking the belt off and spinning them by hand one at a time and feel resistance or hear a squeaking when it spins. A little advise though.......don't wste your money on those cheap belts. Get one made by Gates. (Carquest belts are made by them.) they are much better quality and last much longer..
