High pitched squeal
Hello all, '96 classic 4.0, I hear a high pitched squeal while driving, not constant just when I let off the throttle and the Rpm's drop then when I press the pedal to start going again, it only happens while at highway speeds and not from a dead stop, when I'm in the left lane I hear it do it sounds like its coming from the left side of the engine, I never hear it with the windows down coming from the r/s, it happens for about a second or so, possible vacuum problem? This has been happening for about 2 weeks and now while at a light, I can hear the belt starting to squeak, connected? Thanks for any help
