Steering issues

My steering keeps getting worse and worse. Normally when power steering goes out it whines and shreaks. I have not experienced any of those problems. There are times I just get in my truck and the wheel turns fine, and other times I get in, and it's like turning the steering wheel with out the truck being turned on. Any ideas or suggestions.

Sounds like the steering pump to me, possible check valve intermittent failure.

are you on the brakes, or slightly rolling during any of these. because the steering shares the hydro system with the brakes, the brakes take precedence if you are on them, the steering effort will be greater

Check the power steering fluid level first and foremost.
