Ugh.. Still problems with my belt!! Pulley Problem?

A while back someone else experienced the same thing and it turned out to be starter related, as opposed to belt related. I don't remember the exact details, but I think it was a case where the starter solenoid was not releasing properly.

Well, if that's the case I'm running it by the Toyota dealership then while this puppy is under warranty.

Would that explain why it only happens every now and then?

I wouldn't overtighten that belt too much it'll wind up damaging something else or the belt. If the belt is new and properly tightened it shouldn't squeal at all unless one of the pulleys has oil/grease or some kinda of residue. Try the old trick of removing the belt and hand spinning each pullley individually and see what you find. Another old trick is using a cardboard tube placed on your ear and move around each component untill you isolate the noise. Good luck to ya.
