I don't have the TSB or part numbers handy at the moment, but it should be searchable under "revised alternator bracket" or something like this.

hi yes you’re exactly right. When I start my car the car squeaks when the car is cold but when it gets warm the noise goes away. If I leave the car how it is would it affect the car in anyway? Are you saying it best to replace the whole best assembly or the just the pulley with the belt? Thank you for your help
As the engine (and the grease in the pulleys) heats up, that noise may be going away.
We are saying that you should replace all of the pulleys on each belt at the same time. Suppose the misunderstanding about belt slipping is taken off the table and the pulley on the tensioner is the one squeaking... The car is old and it's only a matter of time until another one of the pulleys goes.
