Default Engine Squeak

have an awful engine squeak. My 99 vette is currently at the chevy dealership and has been there for about the past month. They have replaced 2 belts the idler pulley and the main crank pulley and i still have the squeak. They ordered a gator belt and it should be in soon. Should that fix my problem? Has anyone had similar problems? What can be done to correct it? I really dont think the my dealership knows what they hell they are doing. Just wasting parts/money. When the car is idle the squeak is not noticable but as soon as you rev the engine it gets louder and stays that way. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brad
