    does the steering wheel inside the truck make the screeching noise or are you talking about the power steering pump under the hood makes a screeching sound

    Check belt tension first and top off PS fluid.

    if the screeching is inside the truck then you need to lube your speedometer cable, my corolla does that every few years and it kinda sounds like a belt slipping but louder cause its inside the vehicle.
