I've searched some and had no luck. If there's a thread on this please let me know.

I had new belts put on my 2000 V6 a few months back. After a few months my AC compressor belt (I assume) started making some serious racket. I get an intermittent squeal every so often that Helen Keller could hear. I've tried belt conditioner but that only helps a little. I can't seem to find any pattern to it, but it definitely is more frequent at higher speeds. Only happens when compressor is on OR when I am using defrost. AC still blows cold air as well.

These aren't OEM belts. Could this be a tension issue? If so, any links for tensioning the belt? Any chance of a coolant level issue causing the compressor to scream?
