Anything that runs off the serpentine belt could be a problem. That means the alternator, A/C compressor, power steering pump or idler pulley. Usually a bad bearing on one of these items is the culprit, most likely the alternator or idler pulley that are sealed. A timing belt doesn't usually whine and since all these trucks use a timing chain that isn't the issue anyway.
