Squeaks upon startup
So I've been noticing recently that sometimes when I crank up the disco it squeaks loudly for a few seconds and stops. Sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn't. The tach doesn't work when it squeaks too. Also, I noticed that im hearing the same sound at roughly 2,000 rmps while driving.
Any ideas why it makes this noise?

If your new alternator was a reman unit from a parts store, hope you got the lifetime warranty. The big box rebuild places have a high failure rate, local shop rebuild is a better deal performance wise.
The belt is stopping, hence the squeal and the no tach. But it can also be something else locking up the belt, so check every pulley. You can also put a long stick against the pulley or alternator, and "listen" to the other end with your ear, you'll hear all the hell-raising bearings inside.

Just slipped off the belt and everything seems to spin smoothly...The belt is relatively new, but i noticed that there is little bits of rubber built up on the inside of the the plastic cover and on the alternator as well. Could it mean that it is slipping? Since it mainly does it at startup, wouldn't it be slipping when the alternator is under load?
