Squeeky Belt

Hello All,

I just turned 54,000 on my 2006 F-250 6.0L. In the past few weeks I have developed an amazingly loud squeeky belt. It seems to be the worst at idle and goes away around 1200 rpms or so (or at least I can't hear it then). Any suggestions as to where to start?

I have had zero problems with my truck until the past month.....had a fuel leak, alternator went, and now I also have an erroneous "fuel in water" message all the time.

Make sure its the belt and not an idler pulley bearing. If its the belt replace it, same for the bearing.
