Everybody go out and crank up your truck and apply the brake pretty hard and start turning the steering wheel. See if it becomes hard to turn near its furtherest left and right positions. Dealer has replaced my power steering pump and the Hydra-booster. Not fixed, new one on lot does it too.

Well OF COURSE! When the front wheels turn, they don't just pivot in one spot, they actually have to roll a bit if the truck isn't moving (the tire will travel through a short arc). With the brakes locked up, it's GONNA get hard when you get close to full lock, regardless of whether or not it has a new booster/pump. Do this enough times, and you'll need some new steering components, too!
