Squealing sound
Register to remove these ads. It's free!
I have an annoying squeal that happens right after I start up my truck and accidentally step on it a little too much, around 2000 rpms. No matter if the truck is warmed up or not, its always about a minute or two after being started. Its done this probably since I bought the truck. Any ideas?

ya, it sounds like a belt squeal. It only happens when I rev it within about two minutes of being started(doesnt matter if its warmed up or not)

So it does sound like it comes from the front? Probably a pulley or belt. Wonder if it lubricates itself after the first two minutes and that's why it goes away?

hmm, I was gonna say serpentine belt but those tend to squeal all the time, at least that's what mine did. Anytime the truck was revved, it would squeal.
Does sound like it's maybe something that's lubricating itself like Eddie mentioned above.

when it is cold, take the belt off and start spinning things by hand feeling for roughness or resistance. I would start at the power steering pump.

It might be time for a new belt, and check the power steering fluid
