Default Dry Bearing?

I have noticed a squeeking when taking off from a stop. As the RPM's build, it seems to stop, or I can't hear it due to the music of the exhaust. It is in sync with the motor. Only happens sometimes, but has been happening more since it started a few drives ago. Possibly a dry bearing in the alt. or W/pump? If so, is there any cure?, other than the replacement of the whole unit with the problem. Also, the PO told me he leaves the drive belt a little on the loose side. She screeches a little at starup, but not after that. The belt seems pretty OK to me.

Thanks!
