Not knowing what kind of truck (make model year) you have, but I just flushed my power steering fluid and replaced it. I used NAPA's brand of power steering fluid which is actually Valvoline.
I was trying to find some kind of synthetic fluid and it was taking up a lot time to track down, but as easy as it is to flush I'll probably do it every year maybe every other and use the NAPA fluid. $15 a gallon and it took about 3/4 of that gallon to flush and fill.
