Squeaky noise on cold start ups

[medicrn]

So I have been noticing after I hit 109k on my 05 that I have a noise until the truck warms up. I assume it is the fan belt or a serpentine belt pulley. So I'll have it checked this week and replace factory belts. Any recommendation on which belt to order? Oem one or is there some great aftermarket one to use?

I have used gatorback belts before on other applications... may give it a look.:cowboy:

Who makes gatorbacks?
Do they last longer or run better or something?

it does not matter what belt you get. it's only a serpentine belt. the noise you are hearing is coming from the serpentine belt. when you change the belt, make sure to clean all the pulley's surface. i had this same issue before. it happens when it rains very hard and moisture is high. if it's the pulley, the noise will not disappear.
