power steering issues?

i thing my power steering pump is packing it in. Its not making any noises but my steering is geting very stiff to turn! I have to rev it up to get it to turn! and the fluid level is good. how hard of a job is it to replace it and how much do they cost? 2001 f350 7.3ltr.

you might wanna try a fluid flush first. pretty simple job. takes an hour or so.
i don't have the link to give you but i'm sure someone will drop by.
anyway, when you do it make sure you use tranny fluid.
