Steering diag help

When I turn on the A/C and drive for 5-10 minutes and then try a hard tight turn the truck makes a squealing sound.

Only does this after A/C has been on not heat.

Is it the steering pump or a belt or somehting else?

Any help on this appreciated

Check your belt and tensioner, possible the ac compressor is starting to seize, also causing the belt to slip.

Agree - that sounds like belt squeal. Condition, tighten or replace.

Why is it so difficult for people that accidentally post the same thread twice to delete one of them ?
