If you don't already have the laser pulley alignment tool, get one. My dad had the same squeal issue and it ended up being the power steering pulley that we didn't press on far enough and thus was causing a belt squeal. Of course, this was after getting the updated Kwik bracket a year or so ago.

And though you might not like to hear this, it was nice to hear that someone other than me had similar squeal and alignment issues. Like someone else noted, I got laser alignment tool and went with a slightly shorter belt. That all worked. And I am going through similar AC charging issues. I will be reviewing your tips on that.
Best,

Thanks guys. A/C is continuing to give me issues. Blew another line again recently so I need to get that looked at. I don't think I'm charging it incorrectly, I think the line crimps just aren't holding for whatever reason. It's a different line this time. Will be working on that in the coming months.
