Steering wheel hard to turn

Hello everyone
The steering wheel is really hard to turn (the wheels move a bit ) If I disconnect L or R hoses the steering wheel can turn easy to one side. The steering pump flow I think is ok.
Any help???
Thanks

The wheel will turn easy there is no resistance against it. Without hoses connected can you jack up truck and see if steering can be turned. Do you have any/enough pressure going down to the steer axle.....also does the pump have any kind of flow. You need to determine if it is a mechanical or hyd problem.

The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
