I thought my belts were squealling so I had the mechanics look at it and they said that my altinator was going. So I got the altinator replaced after a second opion and I have alot better performance overall but the squeal is still there. WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?? It still sounds like it is coming from the altinator but it is brand new out of the box just a few hours ago. The belts have been replaced too not that long ago and that didn't help it at all.
