Hello all:

I have a 3500 single axle dump body with a 5.7 hemi. The truck currently has 12,000 miles on it and I've been the only owner.

Last night I notice a bit of a hitch in the steering, like you might get with a low fluid situation.

Today I can't move the wheel at all, and don't have any brakes either. Fluids in both systems are fine. I hope this isn't some TIPM unit problem again.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I did find this, but still don't understand how this all works. I can't find any fluid leaks and reservoirs are full.

 

Does it have hydro boost like the diesels?

 

I believe it does. It does not have a rack and pinion steering system, but rather the old gear steering box and I don't see a vacuum power brake unit.

It is a 3500 base model, but quite heavy duty.

 

yes, it is a hydro boost system. I guess this truck wanted to be a diesel.

 

Hydro boost unit needs replacing.
