Squeak when first start up.

Yep getting a squeak when i first start it up in the morning? Then soon as it warms up about 45 sec or so it slow fades out. What could this be and/or how to fix it.

Thanks
Chad

Ok so i tried this belt dressing **** on it, and now it is even worse. will not go away after even like 15 mins of driving it. Should i replace it? how hard is it to change on the 3.0 and how much is a belt?

pretty simple to change it... belts can be anywhere from 25$ to your generic brands to 40$ for the gatorback...
