Default trucks hard to steer

so....i was out messing around this past weekend and now my truck is really hard to steer (like it has no power steering).....the power steering system is not leaking, and there is fluid in it.....when your going its easy to steer, but slow....its a nightmare...


the truck is an 2wd nbs ext. cab, 7inch lift ad 35s...


could the power steering pump be failing?


any other suggestion?

Drain the pump, or disconnect some hoses and go for a drive. If its no different then your pump is probably bad.

ok so a better idea might be to run the hoses into each other
