NEWEST WTF!!!
 

Ok, so today I am driving and I can get this whining/squealing sound.
I almost sounds like a squeaky belt, so I run up the to the parts shop and get a can of anti-squeal...... half a can later the thing is still squealing.

So I am on the road and I listen to it carefully... or at least the beast I can being I am in the rig with the windows down.
It appears to be controlled by the throttle. I push down and the squealing goes from barely any to a whole hell of a lot. I also notcied that when I throttle down, the squealing gets louder but when I take my foot off it almost seems like it has to wind down. Like it stays squealing fast and loud for a few seconds after I let off the gas and then it fades down again.... until i hey the throttle again.

I know it is coming from the front end, but I am not sure what it is....

Any ideas?

Get yourself a mechanic stethoscope and listen to A/C pump and tensioner pulley, alternator bearing, acc. belt tensioner and idler pulley and power steering pump bearing.

Goodluck.

You can also just use a long screw driver. Place the plastic end to your ear and the other end to component you want to listen to

Well the A/C is off, and the alt is new.
Not saying that none of those could cause a squeal.

Given, I am going to take a listen to.

Thanks
