Squeaky Belts???

[TBSpyder]

I installed a UDP about 1-2 weeks ago, everything went good...but now the belts seem to be squeaking a bit. It only does it when the car is first started and I give it some gas (not at idle). It does go away after the car has warmed up though (4-5minutes). Anyone know what the deal is? Are the belts too tight? Too loose? Or is just because the belts are new or something? Thanks for the help.

they are defenetly not TOO loose.Needs to be tightened a bit( from the alternator).

Wait...you said they're "not too loose"...but then you say they need to be tightened a bit? I'm confused.

well,too loose = very loose I think right?If the car runs fine and everiting is ok wich means that the belt is almoust perfectly tightened.
It needs a to be tightened a bit more to be perfect.I had that same thing month ago and after I got it done I never heard this ####in sound again. .

Someone told me it might be a bad tensioner? Anyone know about this? I really can't see them being too loose...i mean, I feel it by hand and it feels nice and tight....which is why I was thinking if anything it was too tight.

well try to tight them a bit more and see if it make noise.If still does than it is tensioner if it doesnt then u good.It take 5 min to do so.
If they were too tight they wouldsn screem.If they are too tight u might ####ed up ur power stearing and all other bearings.

Jesus, just adjust them already and then let us know.

Make sure it's not your harmonic damper.
