Screeching Sound When Turning...

It's probably a power steering belt that's loose or worn.
So slow down when making turns!
But seriously, it sounds like the belts slips when the pressure increases when the wheel is turned. Check the belt tension.

Slow down! You'll wear out your tires...it's a truck not a Porsche. I am of course just kiddin...
May be a loose power steering belt...not much info to go on.

When turning right, left, both? how long does it last? When did it start? Any vibration? If you give us little information, the results will be of little use too.
Does the truck have an automatically locking rear diff that is not unlocking properly?
Loose P.S. belt or when making tight turns, the pump will screech or wine if the steering wheel is held tightly as far as the wheel can go.
Check for a loose belt and back off a tad during tight turns where the P.S. pump is stressed / maxed out.
Also, low fluid can cause issues as well as contaminated fluid that needs to be changed.

Start with the basics first, check your tire pressures.

When turning? Check your brakes. My cavalier did that and changing the front brake pads fixed it. They were dragging on one side.

Need limited slip rear end additive?

I still say brakes. My cavalier made the same kind of noise and changing the brake pads fixed it completely. Does this have rear discs?

Wasn't thinking brakes but I do need to replace the pads and rotors because there shot....we'll see.
