Steering Issue

Has anyone noticed a difference in steering effort from left to right when turning at slow speeds - like pulling into a parking space in a parking lot?

I am pretty OCD and I haven't noticed it, I will check at lunch. Could it be your alignment?

Do you have an '09? You info in the corner states '08. Well I have read a little about the 2 different steering ratios offered in the towing (not sure it if was max tow only) and tow package trucks. Might look into this to see what one you have. Also, check you level of PS fluid and does it make a bunch of noise?

Also, it is a truck it weights nearly 3 tons, steering isn't going to be 1-finger effortless, at least it shouldn't be.

More specs on the model of truck please.

No I'm asking about 09s with the steering issue I originally referenced, not 08s - don't pay any attention to my info.
