Default Crazy annoying squeel?!?!

This started a while back but wasn't much of an issue, but now it's louder, and happens much more frequently, truck drives the same but its down right ANNOYING. Its coming from behind the cab, somewhere under the truck. When i start the engine from a cold start, it squeels for just a split second. Other than that, you can only hear it when accelerating, or on a really bumpy road. With it being at startup like that, and then on acceleration, it makes me want to think it has something to do with exhaust or fuel stuff.

Any ideas, cause its REALLY annoying and embarrasing

Look under your cab, there'll be 2 giant cables connecting your cab to the frame. They look like uber heavy duty tailgate cables. Yank 'em off. I bet it shuts your truck up

I'll grease em first tonight, just to see if its the problem, if so, I'll try some sort of bushing or dampener. If that doesn't shut it up, off they come!

Just take 'em off and toss 'em. You'll never get them to shut up. I tried everything. The only reason you'd need them is if you were in a horrific wreck. Either way, I doubt they'd save your life. You'd be fucked anyways.

If you're in a wreck bad enough to have it separate, the only way you'd live is with a bear suit on, a roll cage in the cab, and a 5 point restraint!
