Stupid question, but have you checked yet to see if you threw the belt?

I saw a dump truck actually melt the PS reservoir until it emptied onto the ground. The guy took a nap while waiting, and turned the wheel to the lock to make a steady rest. Simply idled the pump dead.Huh, and I thought it was just the late model Mopars that had weak pumps that would croak from doing donuts. I don't do donuts in my 300, but I guess it's a popular hobby of the owners of these cars as they're frequently posting of this exact issue.
It never occurred to me to try donuts in a GMT400 truck since I'd be more worried about roasting the transmission instead..

This just happened to me backing out of a driveway. No leaks.belt didn't rip. And pulley on pump still working. Did you find out what is was?. Worst part is both my pump and steering box where rebuilt when I put my new engine in. Which was like 2000 miles agoPower steering went out, was doing a donut and it quit right after I let out of it and got straight. No squeal from the pump, no loss of fluid anywhere. Any suggestions on where to start looking for broken stuff and/or has this happened to anyone before n how’d you fix it?

It will probably take another burnout or two for him to figure that out.It never occurred to me to try donuts in a GMT400 truck since I'd be more worried about roasting the transmission instead..

Eating a donut while backing out of the driveway should be safe... Doing donuts while backing out is probably somewhat more hazardous, be safe out thereThis just happened to me backing out of a driveway. No leaks.belt didn't rip. And pulley on pump still working.
