I own a 95 4.0. Recently and regardless of temperature when I start it after the engine has cooled, it makes a loud squealing noise for 10 or so seconds. Today, it is now overheating. Seems like this could be related.

Thoughts?

Water pump?

Radiator?
 
Squealing= Loaded alt recharging the battery after cranking on it, and a loose/worn belt. Overheating? Id be checking the w pump bearings too as it they may be freezing up. But if the belt is loose it may be slipping on everything and the pump is not doing its job 100%. A place to start if nothing else.
