Don't know what an isolator is.

Most common cause would be a slipping belt.

Yep, tighten the belts and avoid embarassment.

Does it have power steering? Does the screech get louder when you turn the wheel?
The screeching noise has to be one of the most annoying noises there is and it's the easiest to fix.
