Problem came on suddenly. When cold especially, the power steering is very hard to turn. As it warms up it gets a little better but never is normal. I replaced the rack and pinion last fall as it was starting to leak and wanted to repair while the weather was still good. I have read many other complaints that are experiencing the same problem. I was thinking of replacing the pump next but most complaints said this did not help. Not sure what to do next.

Update from Mar 26, 2018: After viewing other drivers that are experiencing this problem it was recommended to spray the u-joints on the intermediate shaft of the steering column. This is where the problem is. I ended up replacing the intermediate shaft and it is working great!!

Power steering doesn't work when starting up. Comes back to 90% after driving 10 miles or so. This is not safe because the wheel does not come back to center with out turning it back to center. I don't know what to do because of reading what others have tried to fix the problem to no avail. I want to keep the vehicle but not if problem cant be fixed and be made safe. Other than those I like the truck.

Update from May 6, 2016: had the intermediate shaft or lower power steering shaft replaced and seems to be 100% fixed.......for now. $191.00 out the door. The issue was easily identified and obvious. Will post again if fix is temporary.
