Squeaky sound issue

[alex 92]

So I recently replaced my power steering pump,
Tensioner and pulley and both of the belts on my 04 srt-4.
I live in Houston and now that it got a bit colder down here I'm getting
This issue, that when it does get cold something in that area squeaks until my car warms up.
And well I want to know if any of you have the same problem.
It's pretty annoying and well the belts were changed last week so I don't know what the issue can be...
Anyone have suggestions?
Or perhaps the same issue?

My belts squeak too until she gets nice and warm.
I THINK its normal when its colder out or when there is more moisture in the air.
I don't think its anything major. As long as it stops when warm, some people have horrible squeaks meaning other things.

Maybe someone else will chime in to confirm what I said or tell you why.

Yeah exactly when it's warm it stops but I think it sounds kinda ragady lol
Idk man i just don't like it.
Have you found anything to make it stop besides letting it warm up for like 10 minutes?

Blast the pulley with piss.
Its normal for it to happen in cold weather, try lubing up the pulley

My car seems to have the belt squeak when its cold out too, never happens when it is warm

Its very common especially since these cars are starting to get up in age. Mine does the same has to be cold and rainy.

Speaking about rainy..
Does it happen to you that when you're driving the belt might get wet and it will randomly squeak like if the belt were grinding type of thing?
It happens to me, I assume the tire picks up water and gets on the belt and makes it squeak but it's not a constant thing it's like every 10 minutes or so,
It just depends on how hard it's raining

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one, but I'm not glad that we have this problem.

Are you serious? Lube the pulley? You do not want your pulleys lube. Your belts should not squeak. You can easily verify if its a belt by putting some a jacks on the belt. If it stops then it is.

aha. could be ajax. lol.....i was just like, umm? what.

anyways. a little squeaking when cold is not doing any harm and no one should worry. yes, im sure all of us would appreciate it not to squeak at all.

soo, if anyone has a solution that would be awesome. and dont say change the belt, because didnt you just change yours alex?

for some, thats not the issue. and it may be no issue at all. who the ef knows....lol

Yessir I just changed the belts,
Someone at work said the belt could be too tight
But i know that the pulley belt can't be adjusted and I believe that's the one
That squeaks

It is really common for this squeak. I hate it and I can't get rid of it. And Alex, mine squeaks when I run over puddles on the passenger side. I am missing a splash shield on the bottom. It gets on the belt then sounds like a whistling bottle rocket
