I recently made a 1000 mile trip and when I left I changed the oil. I put in motorcraft 5w20 synthetic blend and everything was fine untill I finished the trip. When I got home and crunk the truck up it was making a squeaking sound so I changed the belt and still no change. I used some belt dressing on the belt to hopefully clean any old rubber out of the pulleys but still no change. The sound seems to be comming off the top of the motor like a squeak squeak squeak not constant but intermitent. The oil pressure gauge jumps back in forth when the motor is in second gear at low RPM. Exp.) Rolling start in second, it even tripped my check gauge light. What do you think the problem is?

The squeeling sound could be from a pulley bearing. Try to find out where it is comming from. With the oil pressure going up and down. I would cjheck the wires on the oil sending unit. It could be the wire but also could be the sending unit itself
