Squealing when turning the steering wheel

[Unreal Summit]

02 dodge squeals like a sob when I turn the wheel.  Mainly to the left it seems. Stock wheels stock height. Only thing I have done steering related is a steering box brace and that was in May. It just has started a couple days ago squealing. I don't think it's something related to the box brace but y'all tell me what y'all think.  I just greased all ball joints and no change. Sprayed the steering stabilizer with wd-40 no change.

When did you change oil/flush the system last? I would do that and I recommend Red Line synthetic power steering fluid, it stopped my groan.

I don't know that this truck has ever had the power steering flushed! Good idea!

That squealing sound is most likely the pressure relief valve in the pump or a valve in the steering gear.

I wish I could post the video of it. (Posted a video on Facebook 2nd Gen Cummins page)
