I am taking my truck in for its 5000 mile check up and they are going to look at a squeaking noise coming from the engine. Any ideas on what this could be (belt, idle pulley)?

A bit more info would be helpful! Where do you hear the noise most often..front of engine? All of the time?

Others have posted their belt was making noise..they had it changed..however..the noise came back in a few thousand miles.

My belt made a squeeking noise also, they changed it and it seems to be fine. let the dealer change it and see if it goes away, its worth a shot.

It is coming from the front of the engine and it has a definite pattern to it. It does it all of the time. You cannot hear it when you are in the vehicle. I am not to concerned about it but any info would be helpful, Thanks.
