Have you checked the PS reservoir? I've seen a few of those dry. Black plastic cap on top of the engine right behind the driver's seat firewall.

Based on description of sound, could it be a broken belt in a tire?

I think you have it! Dry! I'm planning on removing the power steering so didn't consider that. I'll pick up some fluid tomorrow.

THANKS, 78F350!!!

Great, I hope that's all it was. Just make sure to get the right stuff. I expect you know, but Not the regular U.S. Power Steering fluid. CHF 11S, CHF 202 or equivalent Hydraulic System Fluid.
