Noisy steering

My 03 f-250 4x4 5.4 squeals when you first start the truck till it gets warm. The truck has 85,000 miles on it and this is my first problem of substance. To make matters worse it only does it when you turn the wheel to the left it is quiet when you turn to the right. Power steering fluid is full and it is not tire related. Any ideas. It goes away after a couple of minutes. Thanks

is your power steering fluid all brown and burnt smelling?

your belt and the fluid are the two first things to check. after that i'd start looking into the condition of your power steering pump. i am just learning about this stuff too, so that's all i got for ya! good luck.
