Just a regular autozone belt. The origional belt was still in good condition but had streched a little bit.

I used a belt from Carquest when i had my squeek and it was only on a couple months. I went to autozone and got a GY Gatorback, no more squeeking. Could also just be the quality of belt.

My wife's suv had a squeak coming from one of the pulleys. I was able to diagnose it with a screwdriver. I put the end on something solid behind the pulley for leverage, and just put a slight amount of pressure on the pulley with the shaft to the point it stopped squeaking. It ended up being the first one I tried, the idler pulley.
