Well as you all know its cold during winter duh! lol anyways I have been dealing with this problem since the beging of fall. BELTS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS :cookoo: I drive a 87 fleetwood with the V8 307. I am not sure which belt is squealing but its so loud I can hear it over my subs. I have replaced the powersteering pump belt which has been doing it the most I guess (not sure, because fixing this belt has killed the problem mostly) Ok my problem is that when I turn on my heat on high and have my cd player and lights on and press the gas pedel just a little bit the belts start cryin. If you need more info just tell me and I can provide a better detailed question

Sounds like it might be the alternator belt. Can you turn the alternator by hand, or does the belt deflect an excessive amount?
