Hello again...my problematic truck here!
:hi:
OK, if I were to guess this squeak in any other vehicle, I would say the serpentine belt. However, with our Frontiers, it could be the belt, the alternator or the idler pulley. Thanks Nissan!
So based upon watching this video, can someone that has experienced the alternator or idler pulley failure determine if this squeak is one of those problems? If so, I'll take my truck in ASAP.
NOTES: The squeak in the video is very loud sounding. In actuality, it is not as bad. I guess the camera's microphone is quite sensitive to squeaks! Also, the video was shot about 3 minutes after startup. Truck has been sitting all day. The squeak DOES subside after about 10 minutes, if left warming up.

Thanks!
PS - This forum needs a troubleshooting category. General discussion should be left to "hellos" and "basic truck talk." Just my $0.02.
