just fixed my chirp on accident. i needed to replace the alternator and when i did magically the chirp was gone. would have never thought that the alt would make those noises. i thought it was a peske belt that wouldn't quiet down. so before you go replacing pulleys on a whim check your alternator out and see if that might be it.
Of course, rebuilding these alternators is near impossible anymore. When did we become such a disposable society??

Check this link. I can't confirm this is the source of your chirping, but noisy pulleys tend to quiet down after warm up. I regreased my pulleys 3-4 years ago and haven't had any noise since then. New pulleys typically don't have much grease in them either so save yourself some $ and try this first...

I bought a PA Performance alternator. Very nice unit. Just stay away from any of their units...or ANY unit...that is rated a lot higher than stock. You will have to upgrade your electrical system to handle it.
Oh yea...adding an additional charge wire is NOT an upgrade. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
