My serpt belt is about 4 months old. I just got done replacing the water pump, starter, tension pulley wheel, & thermostat as well as flushing the radiator. My problem is, at start up I get a quick squeal from the belt for about 3 seconds and then it stops. The only time it comes back instantly is when i turn the ac on or the defrost fan. Is my belt just loose or not properly on or is my ac unit or something else gone? Thanks!

Well, I just did a little playing with the tension screw and basically tightened a bit, started it to test the squeal and repeated until squeal was gone. WHew!
