hey everyone, i was wondering if this was normal.

I have a 97GT- Auto

When I really stomp on it, sometimes I hear a big squeek when it changes gears.

I have 4.10's, but this happened stock as well. Anyone else have this happen?

it's the belt tensioner, nothing to worry about. you can eliminate it with a steel one. off the top of my head.. Autozone is selling them now.

My 04 does it too sometimes. Usually when I stomp on it and it shifts from 2-3.

You guys say it's the tensioner. Does it not put enough tension?
