One of the belt should be loose or worn. Make sure they are not worn or cracking before tightening.

My 2003 gmc youkon is squealing when you step on the gas

It sounds like your serpentine belt is going. I would have that checked out for wear and also have the pulleys that coencide with it checked as well.

I have a 2003 Jeep Wrangler that has a high pitch SQUEALING sound when I release the accelerator. Any ideas what's causing it or how to fix it?.

I know i have the same problem, and i also noticed than when i open the Hood the whistle just stops, so i figure out it must be some air cycling in or out osmewhere, I found out my air intake connected to throttle body was misplaced a weird gap was left open allowing air to whistle. u might wanna check there

Car is making a high pitch squeal some times when driving,noise gets worse when I take foot off the gas pedal. Also has odor of boiled eggs at times. Is this a tranny problem or emission system failure or...

The high pitch squeal ia most likely the serpentine belt on the front of the engine you can buy some belt dressing from the part store and put it on there and fix that or some soap will work also, the belt may also need to be tightened. As for the egg smell if it smells like eggs it's the catylitic converter doing it's job and is normal, although you should not be able to smell it inside the car when driving you may have an exhaust leak and could be very dangerous carbon monoxide exposure.

If I am getting a squealing noise and the truck almost stalls out, could it be the fan clutch?

It sounds like you could have something seizing up. I would remove one belt at a time till the squealing stops. Then examine pulleys to see if they spin free. If a pulley seizes, it can actually make the truck hard to start, or not even start at all. It will act like you engine is locked up.

Thanks Jay!

Squealing noise in 2002 Nissan Sentra

Seems like a drive belt problem, to confirm pour some water on belts the noise should go away or may get louder for a second. If either happens the belt or belts needs to be adjusted or replaced. Good Luck, If I fixed ya, leave me a FIX-YA comment thanks

START UP NOISE

Is it a squealing noise?  If so check the serpentine belt tension.  Please describe the noise as best you can.  Yes have a mechanic look at it, in some cases you can prevent a failure that will strand you.
