Ok, so I have an 06 4.7 with about 75,000 miles on it. The other day, I noticed some squeeling/chirping coming from the engine bay. Its intermittent and pretty randomly occurring. I only noticed it in the truck with the windows down when I was moving it in my driveway. it doesn't last long, usually less than a second. I popped open the hood to get a good look, and didn't find anything visually wrong. Revved the motor to see if that had an effect, and didn't notice anything.
Is there any way I can check that it's the belt or one of the several things running off of the belt? I tend to do long trips (250ish miles at a time) and I'd hate to be stranded on the side of the road with a broken belt or a water pump that ate up the bearings.
