Sorry for not replying sooner to thank you, I forgot my password shortly after posting and just found it written out about half an hour ago. If we lived within a reasonable distance of each other I'd owe you at least a case of beer... Lol
1. The squealing was caused by worn bearings in the alternator, I replaced it and that was the end of the squealing.
2. Using what you said above, I drove the truck for a couple weeks alternating between running STP fuel system cleaner and STP injector clean. After a couple weeks of doing that I brought the truck into my buddy's dads shop where him and I replaced the spark plugs. While I was at it I did the injectors too. Changed all the filters (air, fuel, oil), changed all the fluids (engine oil, transmission, power steering), tested the electrical system in various ways, and basically did a very good, very thorough tune up (it had a probably been a long time since my truck had gotten that kind of attention lol).
All in all your advice and tips were very, very helpful. I can do the work myself, just needed a point in the right direction which you provided for me.
And now that I have my password back, I look forward to becoming a more active member of this forum community.
Thank you, and thanks to everyone else who commented too!

LT.
