PS fluid in your brakes is not going to make your truck stop running.

welcome to FTE.
i agree with Jas. i have run water in the brake system to get the truck home after doing a 2 am emergency line repair on the side of an interstate highway.
once home i did a proper repair and full fluid flush and never had any problems.
you no start issue has nothing to do with the brakes.
