The truck squeaks on start-up, idle, and while driving. The squeak gets faster with more gas and I think it's the main belt but I'm not sure.

Took it to mechanic and it was quiet for a few days after (thought it was fixed for good) and has now come back.

any ideas on a permanent fix?

will a new belt do it?

He did not replace anything.

He said he roughed up (abraded) the belt surface so it would not squeak.

Thanks

He probably hit it with a belt dressing to calm it down could be very well be a driven component on its way out

Yes you are right, it could be a problem with pulley allignement or alternator not align with other pulley.
It will be good to check pulleys.
