Squeaking noise on econoline

Hello all, need some ideas.
My 97 econoline started a squeaking noise in the front of the engine, the A.C.is working fine, alt. is charging OK power steering and water pump no leaks. engine has 130 thous. miles. The only other thing that I can think that it could be would be the rollers and or the tensioner roller. Do these usually go at this amount of milage? Any ideas will help. thanks Jim

Put a little powder (baking,baby,whatever) on the belt. see if that helps. Some will remove the belt and wash with dish soap. Others will just replace the belt and clean the pulleys.

I'm having a similar issue with my 98 F-150 4.6l. I took off the belt and spun the pulleys and the alt is very easy to turn, it will continue spinning for about 5-6 seconds. And you can here a slight grinding noise. Even though its working as in charging the bearing sounds like it is going out.
