That squeel is "most likely" the starter bearing going bad.
I assume its worse in cold mornings.

It goes away after the car has initially started.
That bearing is bad, replace starter.

JohnLee, I am also in Tacoma! U.P. to be exact.
Shoot me a PM I can give you some good spots for work and parts. I might even be able to do it for you.
