Agree Ray, lots of times it's the belt on mine. I just replaced the
tensioner pulley recently but that is after 150k miles.

Here's a possible money saving tip for those with similar squeaks....remove
the belt and check *every* pulley for binding or roughness and any wobble.
Note if the tensioner moved easily while removing the belt. If no problems
there...try a new belt. If that doesn't solve it, *then* start replacing
expensive parts. :-)
