well, I kinda had this same prob, it will wear off eventually... you could just keep squirting them with belt dressing, or buy new belts... sometime after I had to buy new belts anyway because they wouldnt stop squeaking since they apparently were so stretched

Save yourself some grief. Get a Katech manual tensioner and forget about it.

i wouldnt even mess with the old belt and go buy a new one..i mean they are cheap. hopefully that should solve your prob.
same thing actually happened to me recently and I just replaced the belt and the squeeking went away.

I have used brake silicone(not the spray stuff actually silicone grease) and with the car NOT RUNNING spread in on the ribbed side of the belt the best you can in spots where you can reach and then start the car and let it circulate...helped on a buddy of mines ford ranger...squeaking stopped
