HI all,
I have a 2003 TrailBlazer and everytime i start it up after it has been sitting a while, there is a "screeching sound" that sounds like its coming from a belt. the sound starts off slow then picks up a little. After the car has warmed up, the sound stops. This only happens in cold weather. I thought i had my belts replaced so i dont know what it could be. Any ideas?

When the engine is cold, slip the belt off and check the idler to see if its bearing is dragging.
