Default Occasional squeeking

So occassionally when i start my truck up it will squeek, mainly in the morning, but i cant tell if its my belt or something else. After the truck drives for a bit it goes away. I know its not my alternator cause my battery is good. Anyone have any thoughts or opinions, greatly appreciated!

Belt................You can listen to the alternator with a stethascope if you want...........how old is the belt, how many miles on the truck.....you just might want to change the belt anyway........you will have to eventually........probably especially when the belt is cold.......years ago, when we thought we had a noisey belt, we would pour some water on it while the engine was running......if that quieted the noise, it was the belt........but that was the old day of the v-belt
