Some pulleys are made from two metal parts - the inner piece bolts to the crank shaft and the outer piece drives the belt. The two pieces are bonded together by a rubber damper which can become separated allowing the outer to slip on the inner causing squeaks and failure of drive to accessories like the alternator.

Vibrations that come through the breaks squeaking can cause the irritating squeaking that we have come to know. The high frequency of the vibrations results in the high pitch squeaking. Alternatively, the squeaking can come from the disc that secures the brakes, when the vehicle is coming to a stop.


How can you tell which pulley goes to what part of the engine if nothing is marked with what the pulleys are called?

I would take the pulleys to the dealer parts department and ask them. You will need to know the type of engine and what accessories you are missing the pulleys on. They may even be able to give you a print that shows all the pulleys.
