When I first start my truck it makes a squealing noise. Only when it's cold out. It last just a couple minutes. Also when I turn the wheel all the way at first. It is a 2012 ram 1500. Anyone have this problem or know what it is?

It's funny you should mention that. Just had mine in the shop for the same thing. Mine sounded like a bad belt, or a pulley bearing. It ended up being the belt. The Dodge garage told me that just recently, Dodge had redesigned the belt due to a lot of complaints about squealing. Good luck my friend.

Any idea of the new belt part number?

This is the number that was on the belt. Not to confident in it being the part number, but it's all I have. You could probably call your local Dodge dealer and ask them for the new number.
