I would start by getting the codes pulled to see what's up, might give you a better clue as to why it is boggy. Power steering could be a loose belt or pump on the way out. As for the 4X4 slipping out it would be useful to have the year of the truck. I know of several people having problems with vacuum hoses collapsing.

if the p/s is electronically assisted by the computer, one of those codes may be limiting the amount of assist your getting. not positive if this may be the case on yours but ill see what i can find out.
