OP, was that your picture of the RPO Codes? That label is located inside the glovebox, on the inside of the door. On the picture posted, one can see KG3 in the middle, = to 145A

ooh I see it now thanks for showing me that!!!
Well, it turns out I was wrong, The squeeling got louder and now I can pin point it right to the power steering pump below the alternator.
I'm going to have to send the alternator back and have the power steering pump replaced

One of your RPO codes is JH2, which is hydroboost assist for the brakes (it also list Y91 - Luxury Edition). This system is different from the vacuum assist, and the PS pump is different for the hydroboost system.
If you do the work yourself, be sure to get the correct pump. If your mechanic does the work, he'll figure it out if he's anywhere familiar with these SUVs.

For the alternator, the RPO code is KG3 on your label.

have you ever flushed the power steering fluid? could just be burnt/low fluid I do mine annually as it gets toast just like brake fluid. there is also conditioner you can add while flushing it out, might be worth a try. the fluid is mostly mineral oil which slowly starts to oxidize above 165d
new power steering fluid and brake fluid are both pretty clear looking, not black/darker like motor oil
