Exclamation Engine making a Squealing Sound, Help!!!!

When I drive above speeds of 50-55mph my truck will start to make a Squealing sound like the belts are dry,but as soon as I let go of the Gas the sounds stop .Any suggestion on why or what’s causing this? Also, The Engine is only a couple years old. thx

Check for proper tention, but just as important check the alignment of the belts, mine did the same thing, brought out a straight edge and a framing square and lined things up... and no more squeel
