Power Steering Problems
When making right turn steering is fine. When making left turn, pretty tough on the bicepts to steer. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sounds like the control valve is hanging up for some reason. Unusual, the saginaw steering box's are super reliable. Sounds like time for a new or used one. Ive seen several on e-bay just today, under dodge cummins.

Got more problems. Now both sides are pretty tough to steer. Brakes are acting up as well. When i opened up the power steering reservoir, i noticed that the fluid was not moving. Is this an indication that i need to replace the pump?
p.s. thank you for your service!

Thanks for the input. Have another issue with too much play in my steering wheel. How can i diagnose the problem? Is there a common problem that i could check first or is pretty much a random issue, which can involve many other reasons. thanks
