Loud squeal on heavy acceleration

[MStars]

Well I've replaced the fuel lines, brake lines, fuel pump bracket, eng coolant temp sensor and the truck is running great. Thanks to all of you.

Now the only thing I notice is when I am going about 60 mph and accelerate trying to get up to 70 or so the truck makes quite a violent squealing noise. This is most often when it happens. It has made the noise a few times in lower gears for instance getting on the highway and accelerating a little faster than a normal gradual pace. Any suggestions or thoughts? Is it serious? This seems for now to be the only thing I can complain about the truck. Crossing my fingers that the fixes I've done so far will hang in there at least through the winter.

Thanks guys

Howdy! Good chance you have old/loose belts. Replace them with new and carry the old ones for trail spares. John

Yep start by looking at belt tension...... it doesn't do it at start up at all?
Might look into taking belts off and making sure everything turns (ps, alt) freely.

If you have AC, take that belt off, see if the noise persists. You can also remove the PS belt, but it will be hard to steer (obviously). I'm thinking it may be one of the idler pulleys.

"Heavy acceleration" is not something I hear often when referring to a 22RE...

lol @ the heavy acceleration. Doesn't mean I'm actually moving forward very fast just means i'm pressing the gas to attempt to go faster lol. Yes it does make a single squeal every once in a while right when I start it. While driving around town and stuff though it doesn't really make the noise. Normally just for a split second when I start it, getting on entrance ramp if I push the pedal a decent amount and when I'm goin 60-65 tryin to kick it up to 70.

Thanks for the responses so far I'll give some of the belts a look.

Probably just loose, get yourself some OEM belts while you're at it.
