Full throttle belt squeel
We got the truck tuned, new Borla exhaust and s&b intake installed, and was wanting to do some 0-60 runs and 1/4 mi runs. I noticed right before it shifts 1-2 or 2-3, I get some squealing under the hood, maybe a tensioner giving to much or something causing it to over exert its self. For you guys running your pickups wot, at times, have you seen this, and what are some ways to get rid of it, truck currently sits at 42,000mi 5.4 v8 screw

Could be either the belt or tensioner. I might replace the belt first and if that doesn't work you can try to get a heave duty tensioner like would be used in a supercharged application.
