its a 4x4 2.7 liter 5spd trans. has 95k miles and timing belt has not been changed if its about 40 degrees or colder the car squeaks real bad when im driving if i floor the car it stops but once i let of the gas it squeaks again. after the truck warms up for 20 min or so it doesnt squeak at all also if its around 50 degrees or warmer it never makes a sound. what could this be is it the timing belt i want to change it just have to get the money first. shold i drive it anymore. it drives great just squeaks loud.
 
Its not your timing belt because when the timing belt is not working properly the car will start but it will sound like its going to die. you need to replace the other belts.
 
The squeaking is most likely no big deal. I doubt its the timing belt.

My guess is either the powersteering belt or alternator belt. Trying tightening them, and if it still does it, replace the belts. Its a cheap thing to do and not very hard to install.
