Question squealing when taking off

Ok guys I have a 2k F250 with 7.3 and six speed. When I put it in first, lo, or reverse and let the clutch out it squeals... I am thinking pilot bearing but not sure. There are no real performance issues except starting up steep hills. Has anyone heard this on there SD? If it is pilot bearing i think i can fix w/o sending to a shop. Any help regarding would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Toby

Are you sure the clutch plate isn't just worn out and the rivets are contacting the flywheel?

Pull the inspection cover off the bellhousing and see if you have any metal filings laying around.

Or, get a helper to step on the clutch while you're under there, and see if you can tell if the flywheel is scored.
