help me please!
my girl drives a 99 blue gt and it first squeaked when we turned on the air conditioner. now it squeaks all the time unless you are accelerating. she doesnt have any mods to it. so i don't know why it is squeaking . any ideas will be appreciated thank you
take the belt off, check all the pulleys. put a new belt back on.
very likely the AC compressor is bad.

Check the compressor pulley clutch/hub assembly

thank you ! i will try them to see what happens
Also check the tensioner pully. The load from the a/c could have caused it in the begining.

i was also told the serpentine belt may be worn and to try replaceing it so thats what i will try thank you . keep the ideas comming just incase the ones i try dont work. lol
I could also be the muffler bearing....
LOL jk
I would for now say it's either the clutch/hub assembly on the compressor gone bad, or the tensioner.

Could be that the blinker fluid is low.

I'm pretty sure that they NEVER check that on my car when I go in for oil changes and stuff ---- and I'll bet they're charging me for it!
They're gonna hear from me on this one!

Women are like cars, sometimes you find one you fall in love with, and sometimes you end up with a lemon.
LOL Good find
And see, that's another thing.
I've gone to every auto parts store around and nobody sells "elbow grease."
Everybody tells me I need it ---- but nobody sells it ---- and they all laugh at me when I ask for it at the counter.
Sadly enough, y'all think I'm kidding ---- but there was a day that I did this. It HAS been a while though.
Seriously, I kinda wanted to be the guy working behind the parts counter so I can hear all the funny stuff like that. Imagine some weirdo coming in and asking for elbow grease, man what an.... I mean funny story.
But really I did apply at the local autozone. They gave me a line of crap about, oh we're looking for non-college kids to work the daytime, you don't know how to use a cash register, blah blah. We went there all the time, they knew that dad and I knew something about cars. They hired a bunch of kids that look like high school drop outs. I bet those dummies might actually look in the religious holy knows all computer for elbow grease if ya ask them.

Back on topic, the belt is the most common cause of a squeak. Then, on that 4.6, there is a tensioner pulley and an idler pulley. I've had to replace both before to fix a squeak. Once you get the belt off, check those two pulleys for smooth rotation.

soo... well i didnt get a chance to even look at the belt and i get a phone call from my girl like 15 min ago saying "my car is smoaking and it dripping engine coolent on the ground. " well.... long story short she was excerllerating and the belt finnaly had enough and broke .... hit the antifreez and i guess caused it to leak . she got it home and now shes waiting on a family freind who races stangs to come fix it... wow...who knew some rubber could cause so many problems lol tank you to all
no belt = no water pump which equals boiled coolant she should of stopped as soon as it happened or atleast when the gauges pegged i really hope she didnt burn up the motor

My friends wife used to have a car she never checked nor changed the oil in since she owned it. My jaw dropped when he told me about it.

I know exactly what the problem is. You need to reconfigure the osculator posculator tounge and groove. You must use a special muddler to conform the nozzle. I know what I am talking about. Dont forget the graphite lube on the end of the oval nubbler, seriously. I always use sythetic, you get better results.
Blinker fluid...thats a good one! I am peeing my pants laughing... blinker fluid...hahahahah
