belt squeal

So my truck had a very slight belt squeal, it was hardly noticeable, but it bugged me, so i went and got some belt dressing and sprayed a little on... now my belt is squealing like crazy!!!

guess it may be time for a new belt

I had the same thing happen on my truck. I sprayed my belt, which was barely squeaking, and it started to squeal loudly. I think some belt dressing got in behind the ps pulley, cause when i sprayed it with oil it quieted down. Course the belt kept squeaking a little bit. lol
