My Friends 95 Chrysler Concorde squeaks like a cricket. I think its either the belt on the left or the alternator, but I am not sure. She is worried, I don't think its much to be worried about. Any advice would be wonderful.

sounds like a belt.

Any metal on metal part that was so poorly lubricated would have failed long before it started squeaking like that.

Take the belt(s) off and run the engine briefly..

Take the belt off and spin every assesory by hand to see if any bearings have failed. I spray some lube on my pulley idler bearings every now and then to quiet them down. My Chrysler 3.8L has 215k on it.

spray water on the hose. If it is the hose it'll change noise. And straight WD40 is great for making them stop. Not enough bad stuff in them to cause problems.
