While driving my steering my wheel suddenly became stiff where I noticed that there was an unusual resistance to turn right. I took it to a shop to have it looked at and had them flush the power steering fluid and put in new fluid as well as check for any possible leaks - none were found. This reoccurred after about two weeks but this time the stiffness was much worse where I felt unsure that I could turn the steering at all. After investigating on line I found many others had similar experiences. This scary experience happened on 2-21-18 so I made an emergency call to my mechanic to have it looked at ASAP for 2-23-18. Looks like the steering intermediate shaft (u joint) is going on all these trucks. I'm at approximately 143k miles. I'm so glad this didn't happen while I was in heavy traffic although I was on the highway going home when it happened.
