Forget the belt dressing. If you have the 3.0L I guarantee that it is the belt tensioner. It is an easy job. After you remove the belt all you need to do is remove the alternator. Just take out the two bolts and slide the alternator back. No need to unplug it. Then take a 15mm socket and remove the bolt on the tensioner bracket. Put the new one on ($45.00 at Autozone) and install everything in reverse order.
Good Luck
