I have a noise that sounds like a bearing squeal but it usually occurs at start up and goes away in a second or two but can last several seconds at times. It is so loud with the hood up that i can't pin-point the location but when setting in the cab it seems to be directly in front of me. I could get it to make a mild squeal while goosing the throttle today and thought i heard noises within the PS pump. Could the pump be catching internally and causing the pulley to slip on the shaft? Has me thinking about swapping to manual steering instead of replacing the pump.
