I was driving into work today and the oil pressure suddenly dropped, the engine shut off and I lost power steering. I pulled off the road and pushed the truck to a parking lot. The truck won't start now. What could possibly be wrong and how much might it be to repair?

You need to have the oil pressure checked-could be an oil pump failure-if pressure is normal replace the oil pressure sending unit
