Default Power Steering Pump making terrible noise

Hello, I have a 98 K1500 Z71, and the other night after work when I parked it, it was fine, then when I got in it the next morning, if I turn at ALL it makes a terrible noise, and shakes the steering wheel. the power steering works sometimes, but not always, is this the power steering pump? steering box? thanks

I agree with racethisz71. My daughters car needs a P/S pump and when low on fluid, it acts just like your describing. The pump for her car was like $40.00 w/o the reservoir. Not sure about trucks...............
