I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME PORBLEMS WITH MY CAR. EVERY TIME I CRANK UP MY CAR ITMAKE A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND. I HAD THE BELT CHANGED AND TIGHTEN, HAD A TENSION ASSEMBLY PUT ON IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A SCREW MISSING OUT OF THE TENSION AND WAS PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE ALTERNATOR. HAD THAT FIXED AND IT STILL MAKING THAT NOISE. ONCE I DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE IT'LL STOP BUT WHEN I CRANK IT BACK UP THE NOISE STARTS UP AGAIN, ESPEACIALLY IN THE MORNING. I REALLY NEED SOME HELP. I HAD THE COMPRESSOR, RADIATOR, AND THE WATER PUMP PUT ON THIS CAR. I REALLY LOVE MY CAR. PLEASE HELP ME!

It sounds like the belt, check the pulleys to see if they are clean and no built up on them, when you start the car listen to where the squilling is comming from, it could also be that the increased pressure on the altinator could have out wear on the bearings inside the altinator, first try to find out where the noise is comming from. With the noise going away after you drive it my guess would be the belt.
