Exactly what do you mean by loose? There's play in the steering wheel or play in the steering linkages under the truck.

If it's in the steering wheel there's a little screw you can turn in to tighten it up and take the play out.

I would have someone turn the wheel while your under the truck and see what's going on. Well the little adjustment screw on the p/s gear box probably won't take up that much play. I'm thinking the gear box is shot, but don't my word for it.

^+1 on the box being shot. I tried adjusting mine but am in the same boat. There just isn't enough adjustment to take up the play in mine. I would also suggest having someone turn the wheel back and forth while you go over all your steering joints. Could be more than just the box that is bad.
