How often should a serpentine belt be replaced?

Typically every 60,000–100,000 miles, or sooner if it is cracked, glazed, or squealing.

Can I drive with a broken serpentine belt?

Only a very short distance. The battery won't charge and many engines will overheat within minutes.

Why does my belt squeal when I start the car?

A glazed belt or weak tensioner. Replacing only the belt may not fix it if the tensioner is worn.
