Mine does the same thing pulling my 10,000lb 5ver on long hard grades, anything over 2500rpm. My theory is that it is the surpintine belt or either the fan clutch. I drove 6000 miles across the country and it did it in the first 300 miles and a couple times after that. I'm not going to worry about it.
HIGH PITCHED SQUEEL???
Well here's the problem when i'm loaded up 10.5 camper, pulling 18ft trailer loaded approx. 6000lbs pulling a long grade and the pyro temps get around 725 and up but never exceeding 850-875 i get this very high pitched squeel.Back off the throttle it dies down put your foot back in it comes back up.Once you crest the hill and cruise for a mile or two and the pyro temps come back down 550-600 approx.noise goes away.It seems you've got to be into the hill for a couple of miles and the temps over 725 for a bit before the squell comes on,while doing this though there's no loss of power truck pulls real strong,what do you think??(TURBO ON THE WAY OUT??)

bersa45,
Can you tell me what you had to remove from the radiator/fan area in order to access the surpentine belt? Has it that difficult to do? You can PM me if you'd like.
Thanks-
