Lost steering and brakes
I just put a new power steering pumpin my 1997 dodge cummins. did the whole hook it up, turn it on, jack it up and turn wheels for awhile thing. Drove around for a little while, it seemed good, had turning and all.
Drove it home, hit the brakes at a light and it pulled hard to the right and the brakes were super hard, next light was fine. When I went to make my turn onto the road to my house, at 65mph, I hit the brakes and the steering locked up, brakes were very hard barely stopping me and I had no turning, What the heck is wrong. This is my daily driver and my towing rig, now I am having to borrow a truck because I have zero turning. I have to rev it past 2k rmp to have any brakes and steering and with a manual this is hard to do when you are trying to both slow down and turn.
Can someone lead me in the right next direction to fix this please.
THANKS

A bad vacuum pump wouldn't cause no steering. I think you may also have a bad steering pump. Can't rebuild either to my knowledge.
