Is it only first the first few minutes, or does it continue after it's warmed up?

I had the same problem and it turned out that it was the harmonic balancer that had went bad, which is rare, but because the truck has sat, the rubber gasket skirt deal that sits on the crankshaft hub and serpentine pulley dried and cracked causing this chirp, since one component of the balancer was in sync while the other wasn't. Was around $140 total fix.

Well if its engine rpm related, meaning, rev the engine and it sort of matches in bird chirping. If you have a cam sensor in you engine, they NOTORIOUSLY have this issue, a little before going bad. I strongly recomend checking it, BEFORE it goes bad. At best you just destroy the sensor on top, BUT,most of the times it TRASHES the cam sensor body completely.

Good quality serpentine belt. My '04 was chirping when cold. Soon as it warmed up the noise went away. Pretty embarrasing when the truck was warming up. Not sure what the factory belt is, but at 17K miles, mine seemed very weak. Put the Gatorback on , and I don't have the chirp from a hard acceleration shift either.
