2nd gen squealing belt
My 4runner never squealed at all. one day i went offroading and it came bcak squealing. everytime i started it it would squeal for 30 seconds or until i reved it up. i replaced the alt belt and checked to make sure the alt bearings were spinning freely and all seemed fine. things were quiet until next time i went offroading and now it squeals the same it did before. could the belt be slipping off the pulley until it warms up a few seconds later? im pretty sure i tightened it as neccesary. i have replaced all sorts of belts on vehicles and never had this kind of trouble. any info would be greatly appreciated

A new belt can stretch after you first install it. I find I need to snug up the belts, especially the alternator belt 2-3 times after installing a new belt before it settles in. You might also check all the pulleys on the belt see if any have any oil/grease/dirt on them.
