My truck is doing the same thing, only it lasts for a few minutes, until the fluid is warmed up. I'll have a little power assist when I turn the wheel at idle, but if I rev the engine up, all power assist goes away. After driving a few miles, everything is normal again.

I'm pretty sure it's the pump. Mine got low on PS fluid a while back, and I kept forgetting to add any. After topping it off, it made noise for about a week. I think I ruined my pump. Doh!!!
