Goodyear's Auto service center stores quoted me over seventy smackers, for my 2000 5.4L XLT. Gots it from Performance Products, Inc. for less than 1/2 that quote. Their ph # (540) 862-9515.
Wouldn't use belt dressing (tack), you will end up with a build up of gunk on the pulley's & elsewhere

In all seriousness, don't bother with the WD-40. If it's still under warranty make it their problem. The belt is slipping somewhere and lubing is going to make it worse, or just mask the problem.
I've spent hours, money, and even shed blood trying to fix the squeal. I'd just like to save someone the grief I went through. And save some headaches, too!
Just my .02
