My truck keeps on making a loose belt type squeal.
Changed belt and tension assembly, quiet for about a week or so, noisy again.
Any ideas?
After reading some info on belt noises, I would say this noise is more of a chirp, than squeal.
Speed up, noise sometimes gets louder, deaccelerate, noise goes away.Put water on belt, quiet for a few seconds.

OK you have something on one of the pulleys that is causing the chirp. What I would recomend is pull the belt off and clean the pulleys. You don't need to buy anything special just some good cleaner like purple power or ? Do not do this with the belt on remove the belt.
