replaced my battery last Friday drove my truck home everything was fine.
tried to drive my truck for the first time since and feels like i have no steering or brakes waiting for the dealer to open at 7 am, but was wondering if any one has experienced anything like this

It sounds like your power steering pump is gone. Mine did the same thing, I had to have it towed to the dealer and fixed under warrenty.

you were correct the dealer replaced the power steering pump. he also recommended replacing the steering intermediate shaft at the same time since its a common problem and mine appears to making a clunking noise ;).
last week the battery went bad, now this i sure hope the truck dont start falling apart its almost out of bumper to bumper.

All mine are still running and earning their keep, and I'm getting ready to figure out if one of my '05s is ready to be replace with an '09.
