Default Squeeky belt

Well here's the deal. I have a 1997 Dodge Dakota, 5.2L, 4 wheel drive, it's got 118,000 miles on it. I replaced the belt about a month ago because it was squeeking bad. It was fine for a while but when I start it now that it's cold outside it squeeks again. Not as bad, but it still squeeks. Any ideas as to what else it could be?

could be bad pulley bearings, check all of them. replace your idler and tensioner pulley for good preventive maintenance

Thank you for the input. I've been doing some checking around and someone else said the same thing! So that must be it! lol
