Lot's of things can cause the play. Starting from the steering shaft all the way to the ball joints. Let me know if you want a detailed description if you are planning on doing it yourself. It will take me a little time to type up and don't have time right now.

The power steering isn't great on the superduties. Do you have stock tires? If you jack up the front of the truck, you can wiggle the tires and see if anything looks loose in the steering linkage.
