COLD start squeal?
Been mighty cold here in the Denver area the past few days. I've noticed on cold mornings (below 20?) that I get a little squeal when I start up in the morning. Generally only lasts a second or two and there seems to be no noticeable issues.
Just really caught my attention this morning after the truck had been sitting in sub-zero temps for over 24 hours and it howled this morning for a good 10 seconds or so.
Sounds like it's on the driver side of the vehicle. Perhaps it's just thick fluid (steering?) getting pumped through the system?
No issues what-so-ever when starting in freezing or above temps.

I'm up in Montréal and I have noticed the exact same thing a few times when it gets to about -20 Celsius (~ -5 f)
It is just less than a second and sounds to be mostly squeal. After reading this I guess it must be the belt on my truck. Let us know if you find anything different for yours.
