Subject: squeaky belt?

I have been hearing a loud squealing sound when I first  start driving
in the cold and fog.  Or just cold.  Is this do to  the temp?  Or is my
belt to loose?  This is my first Winter with the van and I havn't heard
the noise till now.

Slloth,
Last time I heard the dreaded squealing sound was after the second
(of two) alternator bracket mounting studs had broken. You might want
to check for this possibility. It is not uncommon for them to break-
I have had this happen at least three times.
