Belt dressing on a serpentine belt is a no-no.
It will make way more noise then it did without it. As far as the belt being "glazed", I'll believe it. And if they offer to replace the belt, let them do it! Changing belts on a 6 ohh is NO fun. |

What Dave said.
6.0L belts SUCK.

Sounds about right, 1.8 hours labor (@$100hr= $180), and the belt retails for $89.76, so $270 just to change the belt (not including diagnostics).

It's probably the alternator pulley causing the sqealing. The grooves on the pulleys get worn out if it's been sqealing for awhile on a worn out belt. The teeth on the pulley get really sharp and worn down. If you put a new belt on it will just ruin it and it will be screeching again in no time.
1.8 hrs to do the belt? Just did one on our 05 at work and it took me 20 mins but I did have someone else to pull the tensioner and at least 15 mins were figuring out how it went on because the sticker was wrong on the truck.
