power steering.....
about a month ago my power steering went out and would only come back when i started accelerating, every time i slow down i loose it. went home checked the fluid it was low, i filled it and it fixed the problem. now its doing it again, but now that fluid isn't low..... plan on draining it and changing the fluid. heard somethen about using trans fluid?

I would say throw a pump at it. Or at a bare minimum flush the system. There may be an obstruction, or the pump was damaged when the fluid was low and it won't pump now.
Also, you can jack the truck up and cycle the steering from side to side looking for it to bind up with the truck not running. Just my thoughts.
