IF THE TENSIONER IS FROZE OR BINDING(BUSHINGS)IT WILL SQUEEL OR IF THE BELT HAS OIL OR GREESE ON IT OR THERE IS ANOTHER IDLE PULLY THAT COULD BE CAUSING IT -OR EVEN A Power Steering PUMP OR AC CAN CAUSE IT OR AN AIR PUMP.

Squeal alternator in 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Very often it is not the alternator, but the belt that squeals. This can be checked by rubbing a little soap on the belt, if the squeal goes away, you know it's the belt. The belt may squeal for a number of reasons: the belt is new, the belt is old, the belt tension is too tight or loose, the belt is cold (the squeal goes away on it's own when it warms up). Some belts just squeal for no discernable reason, but there are 'belt dressing' sprays available for sale that sometimes help. Always check the belt before spending a bunch of money on a new alternator that may not be needed.
Why would the alternator belt squeal on a 93 Plymouth Laser 20L non-turbo despite the fact that the belt is new and it is tight and the alternator is new?
Your alternator did it come with a pulley installed ? Or did you have to switch the pulley from the old unit ? Is it the same alternator as the old unit? ( size , number , identifcation markings ) if not this can be your problem . On some cars, the idler pulley {usually on the belt tensioner) can squeal. If you squirt some WD-40 or similar lubricant on the front of the bearing (engine off), and the noise goes away, it is probably the bearings in the idler pulley. If this is the case, replace the idler pulley, because the noise will come back after the lubricant gets slung out of the bearing.
