Hi

I’ve started to get a high pitched squeal when I put my foot down and put the engine under load on my 3.2l 2019 Ranger.

I’ve replaced the top intercooler hose and checked the bottom ones plus changed the belt tensioner and fitted a new serpentine belt but nothing seems to have worked.

It sometimes happens when I use the gears to slow down which makes me think it’s not a turbo issue but I’m not an expert on these things.

It’s louder in the cab than when standing in front of the car.

No engine lights or fault codes.

Hopefully you can hear it on the video.

Any help please.

Thanks

Dan

Thanks for the reply. Whilst I was underneath looking at the bearing I found the issue. It was a gasket on the join of the exhaust.
Just need to replace that and I hope it will fix the issue.
