You probably need a new belt tensioner too. Spring can get weak , also tensioner can lean out and not be in alignment with all other pulling. Also we we used to wire brush the paint off the new tensioner cause it can transfer onto Belt and cause noise too. I worked at a Chrysler dealer. Changed many belts and tensioners. We would not ever change just the belt. Hope this helps.

Appreciate all the responses, baws.

Wouldn’t a bad tensioner/pulley keep making noise and/or chirp every start up? Mine lasts all of a second then disappears.

Yep. Or a bad pully.

The belt could also be on too loose or too tight. Honestly you normally see them too tight more than anything. They need to be snug but night tight. There should be about 1/2” play on the longest part of the belt.
