Holy crap, you're paying someone to do all this work and not fix the problem? I would be furious at the mechanic throwing parts at your truck on your dime.

Spray what behind the pump?

I had done the belt and the idler pulleys and had a shop throw a power steering pump and belt tensioner in. And what do you mean about the wire brush stopping the sound im very curious

what do you mean by holding a wire brush to the underside of the by what does that do?

It will temporary clean the groves in the belt. Just hold it up to the grove side (underside) of the belt while it's running and making noise
