1. when i start truck power steering seems froze up until warmed up and turned a couple times is real stiff.
2. Hard shifting after a trip to work from 1st to 2nd and to 3rd but if you turn truck off and then s tart again it will be fine again until the end of another short trip.

1. there is a valve stuck in the power steering system. I had mine replaced under warranty.
2. there is a connector/cannon plug on the transmission that gets corroded and sends the tranny into default mode so the clutches stop working properly. Mine fixed itself one day when I got the truck stuck in some really deep mud. figure that out!
