so in another lifetime I sold parts. We had a simple way to help people determine if the belt or component was the issue. Use a plain ole bar of soap and let it rub while the belt is moving. If the noise goes away, belt is bad. Soap wont cure a bad pulley bearing, tensioner etc....
Mine is older M998 so I am not familiar with the serpentine belt set ups but there are many posts on here with the information depending on serial number, ac, and turbo from what I recall. Use your friend google but verify :cool:
I assume you have the 6.2/6.5 with v belts? check this thread for belt numbers and matched set information if not familiar with the term:

Yes but it is masking the real problem probably. The rubber is older and deteriorating. The belt dressing is lubricating & softening the rubber and buying you time. I would recommend non military belts from your neighborhood parts store preferably a name brand like Dayco, Gates, Goodyear etc...
I can help facilitate any donation to the National WWII museum as I am in New Orleans. They have at least 2 dodge power wagons or predecessors of the era. I don't recall the model numbers offhand....

A pp7 is a bendix product. Pretty common valve.
It is out there new and rebuilt. I see Amazon has a new clone no name under $30
I don't see a rebuild kit though by Bendix.
Truck pro or Napa should stock.
Search pp7 on ebay gives you a ton of listings.
Just make sure same ports as yours.

Is this a daily driver or occasional antique use?
State Farm in La does my m998 as antique/classic. It takes an agent who understands antique/classic coverage. I had to provide pics and value I wanted policy to cover. ymmv
