6.4 Squeal at medium acceleration
Got it!
My truck squeals at medium throttle. If i floor it I don''t hear it, same with soft acceleration. This sound happens from about 1700-2500 rpm. I have seen that this could be the downpipe leak? and if it is, is there anyway to check because i dont want to go through all of that trouble for nothing.
it sounds like its coming from right behind the engine
Any thoughts?

yeah i am sure its not, thats what we thought it was when we got the truck, because the belts were torn up. but we changed them and checked the pulleys. and it is more of a whistle i just am bad at explaining stuff

Yeah i checked the boots, thats what i thought it was, after the belt. I took a picture of this piece of an exhaust clamp or something, missing a bolt, so i think it could be that?

possible to be related. but until you are confident you found the issue i would keep messing around trying to find.
As I understand it the truck runs fine. Just a whistle so time is on your side to keep troubleshooting.
