brakes/steering

Ok so I put my f350 with 7.3 in 4 low and now I have no power steering or brakes. The brakes still work just no power assist. I took it out of 4 low its back in 2WD but no change. Or I think its out of 4 low my switch is on 2WD and no 4WD light on dash. Any ideas?

did you confirm by driving that you can now go hwy speeds?


I would assume you have hydroboost for the braking/steering system.


Have you checked the fluid level in the reservoir? Checked to make sure there are no leaks or a hose that blew?

Have not driven it on the road I dont trust the steering and for sure not the brakes. I did check fluid levels power steering was just a little low but still with in the marks and brake fluid was good. I don't see any blown hoses and like I said fluid levels werent bad. Any other ideas?
