Default 06 Silverado 2500- no steering or brakes

I have a 2006 silverado 2500 crew cab 4x4 with a D-MAX. 15k mi. Parked it in the garage the other day it was fine. Opened the grage today to see wet spot on floor. Leak was from power steering pump cover, when i opened it up it blew fluid all over, as it was filled to the top. removed some fluid, started truck to find i had little brake power and no power steering. Any help or clues.
thanks, Owen

Slimerocket06,

I am sorry to hear about this issue. Have you spoken with your dealership yet to get a diagnosis? Please keep me updated with this issue.

Thank you,

Have you checked the brake fluid? On a diesel the P/S pump operates the P/S and also the brake booster. Any idea how the P/S pump got too full?

Took the truck in to the dealer, they replaced the hydro-booster.
Glad i bought an extended, cost would have been $1043.00
Powersteering & hydro-booster are linked with a pressure hose, so hope you never loose your powersteering pump, or the serpintine belt when driving, because it will leave you with no steering or brakes.
