I think this is the right spot to post this, I just noticed for the past week. Whenever I start my X it squeels in the engine for maybe 20 or 30 seconds. I think I knocked the alternator outta alignment when I went mudding two weeks ago. After a while of driving it theres a burning smell. Is this belts? and is it an easyish fix?

I would say yes. Sounds like you have a belt that's too loose. I just shredded my alternator belt over the weekend for the same reason.

This sounds dumb i know, but how would i check what belt is making the noise? im guessing its my alternator one because it only happens when i start
More likely power stearing belt just look for cracks or lots of free play in the belt. It should only move at most about half a inch when you push down on it.
