It could be too loose. Old belts become slick and may not grip like they should. Worn pulley could do it too. Check the tension. If it's OK, they have commercial sprays that help the belt grip better.

How much does a fan belt for a 2001 solara cost?
That's a trick question right? Answer, there is no fan belt, the Solara fan is electric. Ok, you were probably referring to the serpentine belt. I went to the Autoparts Warehouse website and looked up the belt for the 6 cylinder engine. The price is about $17 for two brands (on sale) up to about $30 for a brand name. Pricing should be about the same at your local auto parts store. Hint, when replacing the serpentine belt, make a diagram of the path of your original before removing it. That will save a lot of head scratching later as you try to figure out how to route the new belt. Cheers
What causes the fan belt in a 1993 tracker to squeal?
It can be several things, either by themselves, or in combination. 1) the belt has dried up and isn't as grippy any more. This causes it to slip and squeal. There are sprays available to restore grip on belts which might help. 2) the belt has stretched a little, which causes it to slip and squeal. Retension, usually by adjusting the alternator position and it should be OK. 3) one of the auxilliaries(alternator, power steering pump, water pump) is about to seize. If it's harder to rotate the belt will slip and squeal.
