2011 5.0 acceleration squeal
Since I bought my truck, (2 weeks ago) every time you accelerate up to speed, loading the engine, it squeals loudly. It wont do it in neutral or driving slowly, it must be under normal load. The squeal sounds just like a brake squealer. My guess is the intake is pulling air from somewhere. I checked the air filter box, it was secure, and even removed the filter and went up the street and back thinking maybe the filter was restricting it too much. However, none of that is the problem. It might be in the throttle body somewhere? It will drive you nuts! The motor growl is aggressive and I love that sound, but not the annoying squeal when you are accelerating, it goes away as soon as you let off the gas pedal. Any input would be appreciated!

I had to laugh at first! I thought you were squealing tires when you took off!
