Squeaky belt?
My 93 has started making a squeaking sound for a few minutes after start up. I can't pinpoint it but it goes away after about 5 minutes. Will worn serpentine belts do this? I hope it's not a bearing or one of the accessories.

You can drip or spray (with a spray bottle) water on the belt when it squeals. be sure to use only a little water and don't spray the pulleys. If the squeal goes away it is the belt. I have yet to find any sort of cure other than replacing the belt.
