I've Been having belt issues since delivery of my 07 4.7 d.c. It normally goes away after it warms up but now its worse it wont go away. Should i be Worried of something wrong ? Its annoying I made the appointment with the dealer. I dont want them to lube the belt i rather them replace it i posted on this before any one else having issues? My truck has 12,400 miles

Sounds like the serpentine belt. Maybe you just got a bad one? Or maybe one of the pulleys it runs through is loose or too tight. They will probably just replace it. If it does fail, you are stuck, so get it fixed.

My 06 started squealing with 15k on it,and it just got replaced under warranty,they were puzzled as to why it wore so quick.

07TUNDRA,mine did the exact same thing! It went away when warm,but was getting worse when cold.They did mine under warranty.You should try to get the dealer to do yours under warranty

Take it to the dealer - the stock belts on these trucks aren't of the highest quality. This is a very common problem.
