Power steering issue
I have a loud squealing after i start the truck up and turn the wheels. I've replaced everything from tie rod to tie rod including pump,hoses, and steering gear. I have a 4" lift and run 35x12.50 tires. I already probably know the answer(tires and lift) but looking for some help anyway.

Check the tension of the belt. If it has been slipping a lot, it's probably ruined. If the pulleys have room, you might want to try a wider belt. For instance, if it takes a 13 series belt, try a 15 series belt. The 13 is 13mm wide, the 15 is 15mm wide.
I had the same issues, same setup, a 7.3 diesel with 35's and a 4 inch lift. I put a breaker bar in the square hole in the pump pbracket and tightened the belt really good, and it doesn't do it anymore.

Until that is done any diagnostic will be useless.
