I have a toyota tacoma prerunner, with 180,000 been great so far. ? When I step on the gas from a stop, a high pitch squeel is heard, if I let off the gas it stops, it then stops when I reach speeds over 30mph, it is then heard again when slowing down (comming to a stop) at speed of 5- 10 mph. What can I check? It sounds like something needs to lubed or greased? HELP!

Hello
Sounds like your belt is slipping based off of what you have said. It is either your AC belt or the power steering one. They both have the same amount of miles if you have never replaced them. At this point I would. If you want to make sure then if you have any limit left, tighten the AC belt at the AC idler pulley location and the power steering belt at that idler pulley.
