So I'm sick of starting my car and the alternator belt squeaks until I get moving. What causes this? Loose belt? Thanks.

Causes of squeaking alternator belt?

more than likely yea, could also be contaminates on the belt itself causing it o stretch. change it or tighten it
Okay. I just changed it two wks ago. How do you pry the alternator back with enough force to tighten it? I know I couldn't pull the alternator back and tighten it at the same time so that's prob my issue.

long pry bar....just dont put excessive force on it...there should be like an 1/8 or a 1/16 of an inch of give on the belt i believe...
X2 on pry bar or find a strong friend
Sweet guys thanks. It's over a 1/2 inch of play on the belt now. So I need to tighten it a bunch. I'll update once its done. I love this forum. Thanks
