So my jeep decided to make another noise today. It lets out a loud squeeking noise it seems like only wen gforces act upon it. It sounds like my belt but its a new belt. Im at a loss here. It only does the noise wen im driving so i cant literally see where its coming from but def in the engine bay

Standing in front of the Jeep, you can press the throttle and listen for which side of the engine bay/belt it's coming from.

It doesn't matter whether the belt is new or not. It's too loose. I hate it when people blame squeeling and slipping belts on the belt itself. If it's queeing it's too loose, and if it's slipping off of the pulleys, then it's either REALLY loose or there's a bad pulley bearing.
Sorry for going off but I know too many people who blame it on the belts.
Here's how to tighten it: http://www.cherokeetalk.com/forum/f6...-belt-how-785/
