i was always unsure on putting lubricants on rubber belts, i've found a dry bar of soap smeared on the inside of the belt aids movement and to my knowledge doesn't damage the rubber and removes squeaks! give it a try?

I have the same problem squeal like mad changed both belt still dose it no matter how tight i get the Alternator belt if i slacken the Alternator belt off it stops squealing but then does not charge the battery. i think its the Alternator pulley that is the cause, yes i have tried and exhausted all options so have now ordered a new Alternator. will let you know if that works.

my jimny also squeaks. already had the alternator and alternator belt adjusted/tightened but still squeaks once in a while. will try to clean the belt and the pulley with soap and water first.
by the way, is it easy to DIY replace the belts?

Draw from the battery putting more on the alternator? Once the battery back to charge squeal goes.
