My truck is a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 6.0 Liter. I was driving it and everything was fine went to park and all at once I lost my power steering and brakes. I had no leaks or nothing. So is the problem my power steering pump?

Hi, Check This First, Remove The Belt, See If You can Put Out The Power sterring Pulley From the pump,Just Try Pulling It Straight Out. If the Pulley Comes out Then you need a Power Sterring pump. A high Failure rate On these Trucks.



Hope This helps you,
Good luck
