Pulling out of driveway this morning and got a mile down road and truck lost all power steering and had no brake power hardly. I have a 2005 6.0 PSD. It just had a new Ford power steering pump but on about a week ago. The truck has 6 inch lift with 37 tires. I'm thinking that its got something to do with hydroboost but not positive. I can not see any visible leaks as of now its still dark out so any thoughts would help. I would like to try and fix myself

I had this problem with my 00 7.3. I was at QT and my high pressure power steeting hose (brake manifold to power steering pump) busted and left a mess. That made my steering and brakes go out. I know you say you cant see any leaks but check that out. It was a fairly easy fix. $60 and a couple hours and a couple beers.
