Have you read this thread? This is a sqeak that some of us have. I personally have not dealt with a sqeel from a serpentine belt.

New crankshaft pulley and everything.
Every morning the belt squeaks for about a minute then goes quiet.
Alternator, power steering pump with a new pulley, tensioner assembly, water pump.
The only rotating assembly that I haven't touched is the A.C. pump.
I'm beginning to suspect that the crank pulley is offset outward 1/4 inch or something.

well I feel like an idiot BUT>>>>>> check this out boys and you too kwikordead I found the problem and fixed her i think? I will let you all know in a couple of weeks or so but when I was posting last I remembered about changing that power steering pump and grabed my pulley intallation removal tools and noticed my belt was riding further back on the water pump pulley so I placed my removal tool on the pulley and pulled out a ways then tried, got a little better so I pulled out some more and tried her and !!!!!!!! NO SQUEEL!!!! I have adjusted this before but must not have been holding my tongue right so this is where you guys should be looking at miss aligned pulleys. furthermore I had a bearing retainer fall out of my altenator so this is the key boys (and girls) check all your pulleys for straightness and parallelism!!!! as I said at the begining I will reply to this after some time to info of a possitive fix!!! Thanks

My belt was squealing both before and after the power steering pump replacement on mine.
I've tried to find a pulley that is off-set a little, looking down at it and also getting underneath and looking up.
Everything is on a flat plane.
Belt isn't getting chewed up on one side or anything.
I'm going to ignore it for now.

Like if you laid them all on a table face down, then flipped the table up until it's verticle.

What I was referring to is that I am currently using a PS pulley off a 97 7.3. It has a slightly different offset from the 99+ pulley. I have the correct one. I just haven't had time to deal with it.
