Power Steering VS Idler Pulley Whine
This. They are $5 at Harbor Freight. I couldn't tell where my whine was coming from either. I decided to go ahead and replace the pulleys, tensioner, and the belt. But wanted to be sure something else wasn't the cause. The stethoscope very quickly showed me it was one the pulleys making all the noise. It was blatantly obvious once I have the probe on the bolt that held it to the engine.

Also, LOL at the attempt to insult @SCORGE
Sure, if you do it in the middle of summer. Seriously, though, you should wait till the engine is cool to actually work on it.

I don't see any beer involved in your procedures... us snowflakes love our beer when wrenching on our trucks.
