power steering problem

Synchros shot? Weird noises while shifting? Not sure what needs to be replaced?

Sounds like the F150 is the way to go. Thanks for the info.

Or, if your luck is nowhere near good (or you have an amazingly failtastic fluke) wind your truck up in the drink. I've almost seen that one happen... 2wd light truck + heavy boat plus boat ramp so slick with algae that it's impossible to stand on it = almost epic lulz.
