Default Loud squeel when pulling ahead??

my truck makes one hellova loud squeel now when i ease ahead. Also I have been noticing the lights dimming under load at stoplights worse than before. Also when the truck squeels the battery dies down..

its usually when i just start the truck and pull ahead or turn <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Sounds like belt slipping to me.Make sure its not loose and check to make sure nothing is trying to seize up.

ok i just found out what it was..

when the clutch on the AC compressor engages and I give it a little gas thats when it squeals. Looks like I need to replace the clutch there... also my battery dies alot when the clutch engages....

but the squeal is coming from the ac compressor <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
