It could very well be a pully...when the bearings wear out they will wobble just enough to get a lil squeek going.

Could be any number of the pulleys. Could also be the A/C belt. You have to get under the hood and listen around to know for sure. If you can't narrow it down to any specific pulley, I would say try and replace the A/C belt

No I haven't ran it without the belt on. Can you even do that?

Ok say it is a pulley. Is it better to just replace the whole pulley or the bearings?

Yes, just for a quick test in the driveway.

I will definitely try this, to narrow down just what it is

Whenever I would walk by my truck, when it was running, the engine bay was always noisy. I could hear the belt squeaking, so I changed it- and everything seems quieter. Hope that helps...

you can buy the pullies they are very inexpensive. The bearings are pressed you cant replace just the bearings
