Exclamation Help, No power steering, no power brakes

I have a 07. It is my 2nd day with SCT programmer and 4" MBRP tubro back exhaust. I was showing off its awesome power to a buddy in a parking lot. Now I don't have any power steering or power brakes. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I took it to Ford today. They said it was the power steering pump. They had to order one in, probably won't get it fixed til Tuesday. It was a really good burnout, but not worth it.

It's just a freak that it happened. It had nothing to do with the SCT or the burnout or I wouldn't have had powersteering or brakes a long time ago. It's still under warranty, right???

I agree with NPC. The PS pump failure is not linked to the burnout or you mods. PS pump failures are kind of rare based on the lack of gripes posted in this forum.

no, it can be due to the burnout espeacially if you power braked. if you power braked, you probably stood on it to long and the pump was overworking due to the load you were putting on it from the booster.

Good point. Standing on the brakes like that will overheat the power steering pump.

Yes I still have warranty. I only have 2900 miles on it. I have converted over from 4 years of Duramaxs.

Did they cover the pump under warranty?

(HINT: Get all the rubber residue off of your truck before having it taken to the Ford dealer.)
