I have a nissan frontier and love it. However, when I first got the truck a year ago. I changed all the belts due to squeaking. Now I feel like I need to do it again. Does anybody have problems with having the change thier belts every year? is thier a better qaulity that prevents the squeak?

You can try this "fix".  Get some dielectric grease.  This is SILICONE grease, not petroleum grease.  If you have a serpentine belt spread a dab across the ribs of the belt in two places.  If a V belt, a dab on the V side.  Do this with the engine OFF.  When you turn it on, the grease will spread and form a light film that eliminates the noise.  Interestingly, this won't cause the belts to slip.  I have used this successfuly on a number of vehicles over the years.

Don't use PETROLEUM grease as this can cause the belts to degrade.
