My guess it's the belt as it first catches. When it does that what happens when you touch the gas? Does it stop?

If you read the owners manual you should be in low range when traveling slow with ADC engaged! You are slipping the belt!

high will squeel a little in high range w/ the adc on in high but not low. it is slipping the belt a little in high so low is the ticket to fixing it.
