Default please help!!

Hey guys, I havent been on here in awhile.. been busy... but hey i have a few issues with my truck.. any help would be great.. all this started yesterday (Jan.2nd)..

first issue.
I started my truck. and every time i turn the wheel, I get a real deep rumble, and if i touch the gas while turning it gets real loud.. if im going straight , if i let off the gas then hit it again it rumbles real bad again..

second issue..
while trying to go up and down the street trying to figure out the first issue.. my rear main brake line busted.. Inside the frame rail.. is there an easy way to fix this?? it looks like i have to drop the tank.. is there a coupler somewhere i can disconnect..

Thanks is advance..

Sorry man I am not sure.. Normally A pump will whine all the time. Gets louder when you turn.. With out hearing it and seeing what it is doing makes it hard to run down the problem..
Your best bet is to put it up on jack stands and check from there. Ball joints, upper and lower, inner and outer tie rod ends, and U joints in the axle housing itself... Turn the wheels by hand without the engine running and see if it makes noise then try to find out where it's coming from... Sorry i couldn't be more help
