[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 987076, member: 61136"] Belt dressing on serpentine belts is a no-no. If the alchol stop the squeal. JMO, bad belt despite the age. Not imposible you bought a belt that sat in the stock room for years. The rubber aged just tires will. Dry and hardend. Try a Dayco Poly-Cog #5060860. It is .5" shorter and will bite better. The cogs and shorter helps. Also when you take your belt off. Test the tensonor spring for reisitance. If you are suspicous that it is worn. Buy the Gates replacement. I originaly replaced my stock belt with the gates belt .5" shorter. I still had problems with grip. The poly-cog belt fixed it. The gates brand tensoner has a flat spring not spiral. Much better spring. [/QUOTE]
