Power Steering/Brake Problems
We were backing up our trailer and turning the wheel pretty tight and a major amount of fluid came out, in turn caused the brakes and the power steering to stop working.

The first thing you may want to try if you haven't yet is bleeding the entire system. Especially after replacing components or a major hydraulic leak.
The second time I ran into this problem it was caused by a electronic solenoid that was a valve to the fan that was also controlled by the PS system hydraulics.
The whining is always indicative of air in the power steering pump.
Hope it helps.
All the drums are 13"x 2 1/2" and either a 9.5" or 10.5" ring gear or 5.1" or 3 3/8" drum width. What gives? Did the guy at Firestone have no idea what he was ordering? He even argued with the parts store on the phone in front of me.
Its a 1990 2500 2wd with a 5.7 and turbo 400. I've looked on the rear diff but haven't seen an id tag anywhere. These were stamped into it though; CFD 9690 on the lower left flange of where the axle meets the pumpkin and GM2 on the opposite flange.
Any help in lessening the confusion would be appreciated.
