Squeeling Noise?

I have a 98 ram v8 5.9 with 92000 on it . About three days ago it started squeeking when giving it gas. It squeeks whether it is in gear or not. It sounds like a belt possibly but I have been researching it and reading alot about torque converters. The tranny shifts beautifully. No problems with it. It squeaks when I give it gas but not at idle and then when the rpms get to a point it stops. It only does it after it has been running for a few minutes. Any thoughts?

check your belt tensioner the spring gets weak over time. i replaced mine last year ( 98 also )

Also check the serpentine belt itself, if worn/glazed it will slip more easily.

Actually was my waterpump going bad belt squeaking due to bad shaft on water pump.
