Hey guys recently i noticed that when my truck is sitting still and i crank the wheel on tarmac it shudders and steers really hard but when on ice or moving steering is ok, seems lil tuffer to turn then befor tho, could it be weak power steering pump??? it just started doing this few days ago...do i need new power steering pump or is there some thing else im missing? Im sure the steering rack is fine

1st question -is the level and condition of the fluid good.

fluid is up to level, bbut def is very dirty its only fluid on truck i have not changed yet, truck has 152,000 on it. so i figured the pump was prob getting weak.....any one else have this problem or have to replace there steering pump??

I would say that it sounds like your in need of a new power steering pump. had a similar issue a few weeks ago. fairly easy part to replace.
