cold start power steering pump whine?
With cold starts my power steering pump whines like a woman and I can feel it in the wheel. any suggestions? At the last service I checked the fluid and it was full. I do need to replace the vacume pump seal but am pretty sure that has nothing to do with it.

You could say it's normal, mine has done it since day one, a lot ot trucks still do it.
If you change out the steering fluid to a synthetic, it will go away but otherwise, no worries.
You should hear mine when it's -35 or colder out, scary noises my friend!

Use Lubegard power steering treatment available at most any autoparts.
I use it in all my vehicles, works great even on a PS that squeals when it's hot or 40 below.
Just use a suction gun or turkey baster to remove the amount of fluid replaced by the Lubegard.
