Power steering pumps have been kind of a weak link in the titan. I know of several people who have had theirs go out on them. Losing power steering in a 5,000 pound truck is not fun when you are trying to steer it. So try to head this one off before it gets worse.
Here are common problems associated with power steering:
Noise - Check fluid first. If you are low, this is more than likely your problem. But you do need to check for leaks to find out if you are low for a reason.
If you found a leak, air could be in the system. Bleed the air out by removing the cap and turning the wheel all the way to the right, hold for a few seconds and then turn all the way in the other direction.
The drive belt could also be loose. Since their is an auto tensioner on our belt, if this is the case, it needs to be replaced.
Any other problems let me know.
