Default Newest wtf!!!

Ok, so today I am driving and I can get this whining/squealing sound.
I almost sounds like a squeaky belt, so I run up the to the parts shop and get a can of anti-squeal...... half a can later the thing is still squealing.

So I am on the road and I listen to it carefully... or at least the beast I can being I am in the rig with the windows down.
It appears to be controlled by the throttle. I push down and the squealing goes from barely any to a whole hell of a lot. I also notcied that when I throttle down, the squealing gets louder but when I take my foot off it almost seems like it has to wind down. Like it stays squealing fast and loud for a few seconds after I let off the gas and then it fades down again.... until i hey the throttle again.

I know it is coming from the front end, but I am not sure what it is....

Any ideas?

Thanks all.

@Miami,
Yep well it reminds me too of mine.
(Happiest days in a boat owners life.... day he buys it and the day he sells it)

Funny though I just cant seem to sell it... not even for a newer lesser mileage one.
