I've gone through like 3 belts in the last month.
They will not stop slipping, i've tried cleaning the pulleys with a wire brush, different brands of belts (Currently have a Gates belt on there), Tightening it down to the point the pulley bearings make noise, using belt dressing on a new belt.
No matter what I try, belts just keep slipping away making driving embarrassing.
I tested the alternator on the car with a charging system tester at autozone, it passed multiple tests.
Pulled the alternator off and bench tested it, passed multiple tests.
The only thing else I can think of is possibly a very heavy load on the alternator, but I wouldn't even know where to start looking. The slipping/squealing happens on acceleration from a dead stop, and tends to have more frequently, and for longer when there is more high draw electrical systems on. Mainly headlights, radiator fan, and when the a/c is on. But also slips on startup too.
