metal will shrink when cold. tighten up the belts, check to make sure they are not cracking and this should help.

The strongest way to block, is never to provoke a blow,
And the cleanest cut is the one withheld."

Since you don't have an u/d pulley, then I'd check to make sure the belt is tight (as stated in the previous post), and you could also spray on a little bit of belt dressing.

Mine belts squeaked since i got my car (last feb.) I tried everything....tightened them,loosened them, took them off and put them back on, cleaned them.........finally i took it to a mechanic and he put belt dressing on it, only to make it worse.....which i had already tried that too.......finally he just too the belt off and put a new one on. After he looked at the belt he said that it looked fine to him.....soo i still havent figured out what the heck it was.

I've seen alot of posts recently about sqeaking belts. The fastest sure-fire way to stop those belts from sqeekin is a little WD-40. A couple little spurts of that will stop any belt in your car from squeekin quaranteed or your money back! :)
