Default 1999 Ford Ranger's belt is chirping.?

I recently put a new belt on. Then it chirped after this. I took it back and got the idler pulley and the tension pulley replaced (not the whole kit). It stopped for a week and then was louder. I put another belt on. It stopped for 1 week. Now it does it and belt dressing makes it louder. Someone help its on my last nerve. Thanks

one of the pulleys isn't lined up right...if you look from the drivers side at the belt system they should all be even. if one is just a mm out too far or in to far it will cause belt noise and belt wear/ failure. good luck

Belt dressing should not of been used. I have had this happen on many vehicles that I have replaced the belt. After checking pulleys for running true, I have found sometimes, but not always, a fine piece of debris like paint, undercoat, glue to name a few on the inner edge of one of pulleys or a weak belt tensioner. Some times taking the serpentine belt off and reinstalling the belt in the opposite order of the way it previously rotated took care of the problem. Also check the new belt for a rough edge.
