Good brands of belts?

I have the damn squeeky belt when it's cold or it just rained outside. Any good brands for replacing my (serpentine?) belt? Preferably brands available at places like Autozone?

I have used GM's Belts, NAPA belts, and Gates belts. All seemed good to me. Also you may think about changing your main tensioner pulley. From the sounds of things here on the board, those are the main cause of squeeking and/or chirping. Happy Belting.

I think I'll try the gatoback first then and if that doesn't work, then the tensioner pulley. Thanks.

Yes I would go that route. I had a stock one that slipped when I put in my shift kit @ WOT but when I switched to the Gator it never happened again. The design is the best I have seen
