you have to first figure out which belt is making the noise.. super charger belt or aux belt. if it's aux belt we do have a new bulletin for pulleys and tensioners.. which is covered by se. to check just spray a lil oil or put chalk on the super charger belt.. don't get any on aux and see if it goes away

Mine does the same thing in the winter but not all the time. I just chalked it up to everything being a little stiff when it's cold since all of my pullys were replaced. Like I was told about brake noise , as soon as they see the aftermarket pads they will say thats the cause.

Not to change the post but the brake issue was brought up before I changed the pads and even though they were very noisy after the factory put new pads on I was told that there was nothing wrong. Procedure states that after the pads are replaced and the rotors are checked for warping if the noise still persists thet the lower suspension arms be replaced. This was never done and thats when I put on the aftermarket pads and reduced both noise and dust greatly.

Take a close look at your crank pulley. It could be delaminating. It will make a very short, slight, high-pitched chirp, usually only heard on cold-starts. I would've thought it a one-in-a-million-failure, but apparently pretty common. Within a one-year span, I lost one on a diesel Excursion at about 140K mi. and another on an 03 S-type 3.0L at about 83k mi. They will chirp for a loooooooonnnngggg time before they start throwing (Excursion) or chewing (Jag) the belts though. Sounds just like a bit of harmless belt noise.

Does anyone have a copy of the TSB for the belt/tensioner issue? I have a 2005 STR and would like to determine if it should be covered under SE. I can understand why a "belt" itself would not be cover however if there is a TSB and it relates to the pulley/tensioner those items should be covered.
Any thoughts or help with this would be most appreciated!
Thanks.

Yes I had my 2005 STR fixed under warranty. I never did get the TSB but here is the discussion and all the part numbers that were changed out. It was for the SC belt noise.
