Default Gotta love NY Winters

So last night we got 6 inches of snow in upstate ny. i took the truck out for some drifing and donuts in the parking lot of my fire department. after playing around for like 5 min i went inside, came back out for round 2 and as soon as i turned the wheel the steering was stiff and it was making a whining noise. i took it to a small auto shop to get it looked at and the guy told me my power steering pump was shot. i just wanna know if anybody else has encountered this at all? its going to dodge on monday becasue its still under warrenty (only like 30,000 miles)

I was out playing in that too, can't say I've had any power steering problems yet (I'll keep my fingers crossed though). I do get a clunk when I turn the wheel all the way to the right but I don't think that's related.
