Default no power steering and maybe no power brakes

we'll fell into a bit of a ditch last night , dumb coyotes ,got pretty stuck .The burbwas in side ways , both passenger side tires were almost all under water . When I got pulled out immediately the steering was super heavy,and the brakes were really stiff, thought i busted a power steering line , but this morning I jacked it up hosed it all off and checked the level was still fine and clean all the brakes out. Nothing looked bent when I was under either

Just wondering if anybody has any ideas

Oh it's a 1999 GMC K1500 diesel

Look on back of the power steering pump and see if there is a harness plugged in the high pressure line if so you has a power steering pressure switch and it more than likely has gone out just delete by getting earlier model PS hose.

You will have to delete the switch on back of the PS pump then the hose will attach to pump.
