Help with belt squeal.

[rick-rock]

So I just add the electric fan and the ATI pulley about two weeks ago on my 13, 5.7 RCSB. When the truck is started in the morning I get what sounds like belt squeal for about a minute or two and then dissipates. If I drive a short distance(10mi) turn it off then start back up, I don't have any squeals.
The belt I'm using is Master pro with the same part# as gates K060716,72-1/8" OC. There is tension on the belt maybe even a little more than the factory belt(I figure because its new).
Is this just a cheap belt and need to try another? Has anyone else had this problem? Very annoying.

I used Dayco #5060715

Are you sure damper pulled all the way in on crank snout?
Had to eyeball mine to make sure it was parallel with other pulleys

Yep, it's inline with the other pulley's.

Buy a Goodyear Gatorback belt. It will never slip.

There is a tsb for this due misaligned pulleys. Believe it or not mopar offers a different belt for the fix.

Being I have the under drive pulley, I don't think that will work.

I am going to order a Goodyear belt and try that.

+1 on that goodyear gatorback suggestion.

I can't find a gator back belt for the stock setup anywhere? Does anyone have a part number for it for a 2014 ram?

Took a look around and doesn't seem like they offer one for the stock set up.
