belt squeal

When I get on it in my truck and it shifts from 3-4, I hear a squeal...guessing its the fan belt. Anyone else have that happen? Do I need a new belt?

I have the same squeal when I get on it hard from a stop it has done this since I got the tuner. does not do it all the time. can't figure it out either.

Mine does this with no tuner... it also does this on several of our farm work trucks, ie the 5.4L 3V 2006 F250 we got does it, as well as the 2010 F250 with the same motor. Seems to be common, don't think its a problem though.
