Power steering sluggish

I barely drive this truck 100 miles a month but I did notice the steering getting a little sluggish a couple of months ago. I can't find any leaks and the reservoir is full. I have a mild belt squeal for literally a second when starting but the belt is tight.

Could the reservoir screen be the culprit? Doesn't seem like there is a way to access the screen. Thoughts?

 

Subbed for a similar issue. Flushed twice, power steering turns to shit quickly after, and dealership inspection reported no leaks or damage in steering rack/rack & pinon for me. Told me it feels normal even though my brother also owns a 2nd gen that I can turn with my pinky

 

Does it feel just overall tight? Spray your lower steering shaft joint with penetrating oil and work the wheel lock to lock and repeat a couple times.

 

Well I drained I today and replaced all the fluid. Feels fine now.

 

Do this mine was feeling funny last weekend it felt more pressure than normal taking and leaving highway ramps. I sprayed it with bp blaster and drove it around and by the end of the day it was feeling normal.

 

Lol given your username you've been waiting your whole life to use that meme. Nice work.

 

I saw my shot, and took it.

 

Nicely done.

Zucker brothers were the best.
