does it do it while sitting and idling? is it a chirpy sound or a steady squeal? you could try using a wand/hose to your ear to locate sound while someone revs motor with hood open. do you have air conditioning? the idle bearings on the pump can get noisy/squeaky.

It appears that there was too much lubricant on the belt. When used soap to remove some lubricant it is now no longer squeaking. Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it. And have a great weekend!
