Hello there! How can I get rid of the squeecky noise in the belt during the morning. Is this something that I have to be concern of in the long run. My van seems to run normal. I was thinking of spraying something to it to lubricate if it needs to be.

You can spray "Belt Dressing" sold at your local parts store. But that is just a quick fix. It will eventually come back. A lot of time the squeaks come from the "glaze" under the belt. Turn your belt inside out, if you see "shiny" area, then it is glazed. It should be replaced.
