So, let me see I am reading this correctly, When YOU drive your car you get an annoying high pitched squeal somewhere behind the steering wheel?

you dont turn the wheel to much when your haulin ***, so it wouldnt make the noise unless your parking, u-turning, etc.

when you get your car running, tighten the belt, if that doesnt help, swap the pump from your parts car (unless you sold it). and if that all fails, convert to manual.
