Default Whats more likely to Go Out?
My power steering is almost non existent and I have a real soft break pedal.
Which is more likely to have failed the power steering pump or the Hydro boost?
are their any checks that i could perform to diagnose the problem?

The pumps are junk in these trucks. Good chance yours is done.
