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...

There is a SSM with a updated belt for the 6.0, but im sure they know that. Offcourse doesn't hurt to ask..........

Actually, my first throught is that if it has less than 36,000 mi, it is still covered by warranty.

Try the Goodyear "Gatorback" belt; it solved the squeaking problem on my 5.0

-john king

This is a 2003 F-250 crew cab. It has almost 67,000 miles on it. The sqeak goes away for about a week after the dealer replaces it. 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?
