Exclamation Power Steering System Feels Weak?

I noticed over the weekend that the power steering on my 05' F250 seems to be getting a little weak. When I was backing up to my camper trying to hook it up, and tried cranking the wheel over a few times without the truck moving, it barely wanted to move. As long as I'm rolling a little bit I'm fine, but if I'm sitting still......after a turn or two off of center, it doesn't want to budge.I'm not very familiar with how the power steering systems for these things......any ideas on troubleshooting would be great! I took a quick look under the hood and didn't see a power steering pump or reservoir...does it run off of the brake fluid reservoir?

every 50,000 miles the power steering fluid should be changed......

like motor oil.. it get dirty. and needs replacement... IF NOT, pump is worn out.

my opinion.
