damn squeeking

Has anybody had any trouble with their 2.8 squeeking. I have tried everything, i put a new belt on last year, a new water pump recently, and just now a new tensioner. Also I had a mechanic look at it and he checked the powersteering pump, the a/c pump, and the alternator. He also said that if it were a crank bearing then it would squeel all the time and the car would be overheating. Does anybody have any ideas or have had this same problem and what should I do to fix it. Also I put belt dressing on the belt.

my 1989 had a squeak . I used WD-40 it helped for a short time but it would come right back. Finally I got disgusted and bought a new belt . Come to find out they had put a belt that was too long on the car wasnt much maybe a half inch but it made all the differance. Hasnt squeaked since with the shorter belt.

My car squeaks too! I think it is coming from under the car. From the driveshaft or something!
