99 Sport 4.0 SOHC 79000miles. So i just got on the freeway and kicked it into passing gear to get around a semi and my truck started screaching really loud (louder as acceleration grew). Sounded like a belt or something. I pulled over right away and couldnt notice anything wrong, the Serp Belt looked a little loose but all pulleys seemed to be turning. I decided to limp about 2 miles to my moms where i could work on it and on my way here it was very hard to turn. The steering wheel seemed to almost freeze up on me. I pulled in the driveway screaching still there, tried to turn the steering wheel and it would go about a half turn and then stop, i didnt want to force anything so thats where im at. I have to grab my sis's car now and go to the courthouse for my wonderful divorce which i am late for now, but i do not have an extra car for picking my boys up tomorrow morning so i really need to figure this out today. If it is the PS pump i think i could replace it (although iv never done one) with my hanes manuel but any extra help or points to a thread would be great. thanks guys
