Anyone know?

I own a 03' Crown Vic P71. When I punch it and I am accellerating there is a squealing noise! Not sure if it's the belt on the front of the motor or the tranny? This noise only happens when it opening up full throtle and only last for spit second, when it's at peak revs in the top end? any info would be great and thanks

Open the hood ans listen. You can tell if its a belt or a bearing (alt, power steering).

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

I think there is a rev limiter (or something) on the tranny that makes a noise when you are wide open and let off suddenly. It seems to keep spinning. I thought I had a problem when I first got mine and read it was normal.
