DMax Serpentine Belt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I bought my truck 3 years ago, the PO had sprayed belt dressing all over the serpentine belt. Squeaked like hell. So, I changed the serpentine belt, but the residue on the pulleys made it start squeaking again. For another 10k miles this thing has squeaked. Despite multiple efforts to clean it with engine cleaner and brake cleaner, squeaking keeps coming back. I wonder now if the belt is impregnated with goo that just won’t come out of the grooves. I can swap the belt again, but I am worried a new one will squeak too due to pulley contamination.

Thoughts?
