check your tensioner and make sure that the belt is tight, if you gotta fix it quick pour a little coke on it, not pepsi it won't work but coke will.

get a factory belt, you may have to try the diffrent sizes to work with the underdrive pulley, but weve seen aftermarket belts squeal and some even make a knock sound when you tap the gas, sounds like a damn rod...

Nope, the old belt will work with underdrive pullies. Check the tensioner. | |

if he put A BRAND NEW belt on and its sqeualing ive seen this DOZENS of times. if its the PROPER size and squealing its usally due to the aftermarkets quaility, or lack thoerof, i have seen sevral dozen cars in my career where cause the belt was aftermarket when you tapped the gas since its a long belt and would stretch it would actually make a KNOCK sound. but if its aftermarket AND NEW like he said, thats what id go for.
