My car would make a squeaky noise when I'd start it up then go away after 10 min of driving. I put on a new serpintine belt and it cured it! My old belt looked brand new but was makin the noise anyway.

F-body belts always wear unevenly. Just try some belt dressing to see if that fixes the problem. If not new belt in your case.

Really?? I sprayed the dressing and it made it quieter for the week I needed to get paid to buy a new belt. (I know I'm really THAT broke).
