Default Belt Squeaks - Out of ideas

I have a 2001 1500 HD with a belt squeaking problem. I've changed both belts. I've put new tensioners on both belts with no luck. I know there's a problem with the power steering pulley not being at the end of the shaft with my year model. I looked at it, and the nut holding the pulley on seems to be dead even with the end of the shaft. Is there anything else I can try to fix this? Thanks so much.

could be some grease or some type of fluid on one or more of the pulleys causing belt to slip. you can try spraying carb or brake clean on the pulleys with belts off, let it dry, then put belts back on.

Good idea. I'll give that a try.
