2007 ranger 3.0 when cold and I start it gives a squeal for a couple of seconds. It sounds like is up front (alternator -belt or tensioner). The engine has 35000 miles on it. The belt was changed at 30000 miles. HELP

Try a Motorcraft belt. Sometimes aftermarket belts are just a tick off of the origianl design.

Belts do streach, I would be re checking the external drive belts first.
