Sqeaks more when the weather is cold and when the truck is cold. Squeaks more at idle speeds than higher RPM. No signs of misalignment on pulleys. Any more details? richard > I have taken my truck to the local ford dealer in town to get my > squeaky serpentine belt fixed 4 times!!!! Any suggestions on how to > get it fixed? They have replaced the belt 3 times along with the > idler pulley once. miles, type of truck prolly immaterial.. real questions: is it squeak (idle) or squeal (acceleration) or both does changing belt help for more than one day? Or does it come right back down the street. look for wear on sides of belt, shows misalign. Change alternator pulley, check alt alignment...  Signature- Yes, I'm a crusty old geezer curmudgeon.. deal with it! - There is a SSM with a updated belt for the 6.0, but im sure they know that. Offcourse doesn't hurt to ask..........

Try the Goodyear "Gatorback" belt; it solved the squeaking problem on my 5.0 -john king >I have taken my truck to the local ford dealer in town to get my > squeaky serpentine belt fixed 4 times!!!!
