The alt belt slipping would be high on my suggestion list. That squealing sound.. How embrassing. Can be a bit of a PITA too with the toothed bolt design. You'll need three hands or you'll need to get a fine balance between loose but not too loose on the alternator bolts so that you can make the adjustment then get it snugged up right away. Just make sure you explore to operation of the mechanisim fully before you go a try to tighten up everything as to avoid potential damage to the toothed bolt. Also, plan on getting a new quality belt to avoid problems down the road.
