Steering problem
1993 GMC Sierra V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

Power steering will work fine first thing but once I drive for awhile it goes in and out. Will be really hard to turn then all of a sudden it goes back to normal (frees up all of a sudden). Checked the fluid and is all topped up, is this likely the power steering pump?
