Default Squeeling ... please help!!

Sometimes when I take off and the car boggs a little, (meaning when I dont give it enough gas) the car makes a squeeling sound! It only does it when the car boggs from a stop or when powershifting! I cant quite figure out where its coming from. Can someone please tell me what it could possibly be and how to fix it? Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

No...I dont think its that, its coming from the motor. Im thinking its the belt or one of the pulleys, but then again, I could be wrong. Ok...this might help a bit...if youve seen the ZL1 run video, thats the squeeling that Im talking about. When its at the line and he gives it a little gas, it makes that sound. I dont know how to explain the video but its done when getting ready to make the run.

Sounds like an old/worn out belt

It may be, but I seriously doubt it because I replaced them when I installed the ASP underdrive crank pulley! They havent been on there but maybe 2 or 3 months. Thanks

sorry for adding this in your engine squeak post, but my car does the squeak thing from the back too. Mine was the trunk latch. I wrapped a little duct tape on the truck lid and it is a tight fit when it closes, but no more squeak <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If this is a real quick, sharp squeal that goes away as quickly as it comes, I'll bet the belt is slipping on the pulley. If you want, shoot it with some anti-slip spray and see if that kills/quiets it. Just a thought for ya!
