What are you driving and did you dent the oil pan? Maybe on the side from the trac bar?

a dent in the oil pan is a possibility, or it could be a rod bearing or something.  i'd have to take a look to be able to tell you for sure.

I dont have a rattle or a bang, but I do get a very high pitched squeal, almost like a whistle, when I got between 2.7 and 3G's +. I thought I'd keep it in this thread.

Sounds like something is about to snap, but I have wheeled like that always and been up to 5G's under highly stressful inclines in 4L, and never had anything break. Fluid levels are always fine. Seems to come from the front end. Any ideas?
