Power Steering Pump problem #1

The truck shut off no power brakes, steering. This happened while pulling a trailer. The GMC dealer informed me that the shut off was the result of a pump mounted driver (pmd) failure on the 6. 5l diesel motor. Very unsafe should have resulted in a accident.

Steering Wheel problem #2

Power steering will not turn the wheels when vehicle is on an incline/decline.
