I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. When I turn my car on, especially during a cold morning, it takes a few second for the screeching to begin. It will loudly squeal for the first 10-15 mins then will begin to get quieter, yet still noticeable. I'm not sure what it is- serp belt? Or maybe something else?

Rcommended replacement of BELT & TENSIONER is 60,000 mi. That is probably what yours needs.

Yes I put to many commas in it. It's my uncooperative keyboard. Won't do what my fingers tell it too lol. They have belt diagrams on site here just look under repair and service.
