well, i brought my car to work today so i could figure this damn squeal out. While it was up on the hoist and running i took the stethoscope to A/C compressor, water pump and PS pump, nothing not even the squeal. So i turned the A/C on and still silent and mind boggling lol. Finally i hear the faintest sound and its coming from the fcuking cat converter heat sheild. Out of all the threads iv read on this issue on all the other sites, there has been only one other time its been a heat shield causing a belt slipping noise. So i removed the lower half of the shield and used 2 hose clamps to hold the other half that sits under the oil pan tight to the cat and problem solved.......silents (sorta hahah)
