Squeaking belt
I have a '93 Explorer XLT with everything. A little while ago the belt started to squeak. It almost sounds like geese or a seal. Anyways, I've replaced the belt tensioner and the belt, and, while it has improved the overall performance, the squeak is still there. Has anyone else ever gotten this?

I just had this start up on my 94 XLT. My problem sounds like the altinator bearing is starting to fail. Try to pinpoint the problem by trying a few tests.
- Does it get louder when you turn?
- Does it get louder when the engine revs?
- Is the squeak present when idling (not in gear)?
- Can you find the general location under the hood where the squeak is coming from?
