thanks for the advice. However, I did solve my problem from a year ago by replacing both tensioners and both idlers, as well as the belts. I went with the Goodyear Gatorback as suggested by several members. I haven't had a problem since then, and that was 20K miles ago. Guess I should have followed up on my post to let folks know I resolved the issue!

Thanks!

Only issue you have to get them at Autozone

Gatorback Poly-V w A/C 4040420 -Autozone $14.99
Gatorback Ploy-V alt & P/S 4060798 –Autozone $23.99

I second this, but will add that when I did replace the harmonic balancer during a Cam Install a year later, I was able to put standard belts (that came with pulley kit) back on and the squeak did not return. So I still think it's related to the harmonic balancer, even though the gatorbacks cure it.
