2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Power Brakes & Steering Malfunction?

[BarryG]

When I go to work this morning, started the truck it ran 3 minutes or so before I started backing down the steep driveway. No power brakes, uh oh. Pump them and no power. Get stopped just before going into the neighbors yard. Then realize I have no power steering either. That thing is one hard beast to turn with no power. Decide to give it another try same thing. Decide to try and drive up the street as I get to the end I now have power brakes and steering back. Decide to go to work and all is well. Seems the power steering is a little louder on the turns but other than that seems ok. Temp was in the low 30's. Power steering fluid and brake fluid is full and looks ok. Anybody have any ideas?

Personality ??



Maybe switch to synthetic power steering fluid. ? (FYI: Power Steering pump powers brakes and steering)
