The belt is nice and tight. Trust my knuckles on that one. Ouch
I'm thinking a bearing in the PS, WP, A/C or Alt. We're just trying to see
if anyone else has had an issue like this before throwing parts at it.

are you sure the belt is the right size? it may be just a little too big,
and that's what's causing the squeaking. do you notice if it squeaks when
it is colder, warmer, rainy, snowy??? that may have to do with the
tightness of the belt (if it is too loose).
