HELP!!! cry

Well my first winter is over and I started up my truck 216 (low pressure dipper) and unfortunately, I have a really loud squeek coming from what I believe is the front cylinder. Almost like the piston is scraping along the cylinder wall. The truck runs just fine. When you give it gass the squeek seems to go away but only returns when it goes back to an idle. The longer it idles the louder the Squeek.

What's wrong?

Do I have a stuck piston ring? If so, how do I "un-stuck" it?

Do I have a problem with the oil delivery system - not getting lubrication to the cylinder?

Other probelms???

Any guesses or advise is greatly appreciated.
