    I get a squeaky noise from the pulley areas on very humid mornings(rainy morning) or just high humidity days. It will go away after a couple of minutes of driving. I can not figure what it could be since it only does it on very humid days? Any ideas?

    Seat covers, weather tech digi fit, bug deflector, plasti dip wheels, magnaflow muffler, and many more to come!.. as soon as i get money. Ill probably go broke typing this...
    probably just condensation on the belt from the humidity. That could cause it to slip on the pulleys and make the noise you here. It happens to me after i wash my truck and get a little mist from the over spray on the belt. But thats just my 2 cents. :D

    I do have probably the very same problem!
    When i start it after it s been sitting for a few hours,then that squeeky noise is on for about five minute top,then goes away.
    I was told that it could be my accessories belt that is going?
    It is going in at Toyota s Dealer for a oil change in about two weeks,i will ask them to check it out.
    My Tacoma is a 2007 V6 4x4 with 91,000 kilometres.
    Thanks

    Had the same problem on my truck @ 50k. It would also only squeal when cold.
    I got tired of hearing it so just swapped the serpentine belt and problem solved!
    Cost around $30 and took 20 minutes to install from popping the hood to firing it up.
