SOURCE: power steering & power brakes

Most likely is the power steering pump. There is also a revised flow control valve that threads into the back of the pump and a revised steering gear to address a lack of steering assist that could occur if the brakes are applied and turning the steering wheel with the vehicle stopped or during parking lot type maneuvers.

It sounds like you lost the power steering pump or belt. The brakes utilize pressure from the power steering pump via the hydro-boost. If it is the pump, and the belt is still intact, you will probably want to replace the belt as well.

Pump is starting to fail. Good news is that it isn't too hard to change. Hope this helps...

SOURCE: Power steering and brake line location2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

the power steering lines are very short hoses approximately 8 inches long that go from the power steering pump down to the steering box, which is located on the frame, just below the pump. The brake lines run from the master cylinder(where you fill it with fluid on the drivers side firewall) down to the frame, and then follow the frame both directions; both to the front end and the rear end, along the drivers side frame rail, just on the inside of it. The fuel line runs along the same path to the rear.

2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 hd. My power steering went out but I still have brakes, what is broke?

Steering and Brakes are totally unrelated.

Steering wheel, steering pump, steering rack, wheels.

Brake pedal, brake servo, brake calipers and discs.

Take it to a garage.

2002 chevy silverado 2500 hd with duramax no brake or steering power. do I need to replace or repair hydro booster?

It definitely sounds like the hydro booster. There are videos on YouTube that shows you how to do either. Depending on your skill level will determine which one you do. The main issue is bleeding the air out of the booster. It can be difficult. You will also need to bleed your brakes completely afterward. GMs are notorious for having the hydro boosters die on them.

02 silverado 2500 duramax- loss of power steering/brakes

I know GM decided to run the brakes and power steering vacumm all off of the power steering pump on some of their trucks. This could really be a big problem because if your power steering quit it would stop supplying your brakes with vacuum to stop the truck. In my experience I would check out the situation with the steering pump. Change it for a new one. Don't take any chances on smashing your truck.

Power steering & power brakes

Sounds to me like your power steering pump has gone bad. Being a vehicle with a hydro-boost brake system that would explain the power brake failure. Hydro-boost brake systems utilize pressurized power steering fluid to provide brake assist. In most lighter GVWR vehicles this function is performed by engine vacuum. There is a recall on certain Silverados and Sierras that addresses a faulty check ball in the booster, but your vehicle is affected by a steering issue as well. This would indicate to me that it is the pump. You can however check online to verify if your vehicle is affected by the recall. Hope this helps.
