I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's the belts...
Loud screech at max acceleration...

It has to be the belts. Go to your local parts store and get a belt shrinker machine, that should make them tighter and not squeal. If they still squeal, rub a little peanut butter on them, works awesome.
Tough room...
I would most definatlely check those pesky things on the front of the engine, what are they called
oh ya,
the belts

I found a combination of Cyndi Lauper and Chisse Hyndes will adsorb squealing noises @ high decibels. HOWEVER your still battling the lessor of evils. ;P
IIRC belts are are still cheaper than either of their box sets.

I'm glad everyone is having fun 
and thanks for the input
and thanks for the input 
so...
was it the belts?

If it were a 40 series, you wouldn't even be able to hear it, I'd just ignore it...
But it sounds like the belts to me.

Your driving a 40 in Guam and it has not rusted through? Do you know Robert Balajadia at Industrial Arts guy at GCC or his ex Polli? He is a Chamorro relative of mine. He used to have a couple of 40's. Their boys (Galen and Beau) just passed through town (Phoenix) last week on the way to Florida. Guam is a small place say hello to him from his Cunyo in Arizona.
That noise...
It could be a boonie dog caught in the running gear or a chicken.
I'd rather be eating blue parrot fish kelaguen with red rice and finnadeni.

My belts squealed on start-up also. Are yours doing this?
Just to add another idea, my truck "whistles" under acceleration. I believe this is caused by a vacuum leak somewhere. Mine is very subtle, but it is conceivable that a more severe intake or vacuum leak could create the sound you are hearing. Maybe not, but replace/adjust your belts and see what happens.
fwiw

OMG, an 80 whistling under acceleration.We may need a whole new thread for that one.
What Rob meant to say is that the (fzj) 80 factory exhaust system whistles under acceleration normally. Some trucks more than others.

You're no fun;p
What I meant to say was that this is a whole different issue. It needs a new thread so we can obsess about it for three days before arriving at a completely obvious solution.
