Hi All ... recently got an 02 escalade with only 40K miles. Went camping ... hooked up to camper to leave went 10 feet ... not power steering and no brakes. No leaks anywhere, no pulley whining, pump full of fluid.

From what I have found I 'think' the issue might be that the power steering pump went as I think the pump also powers the brakes.

What do you all think? Should I look into anything else?

Sure sounds like the pump has failed due to age

It does work both the steering and brake booster

Do you think anything else could go bad just due to setting?

I already flushed radiator. Planning to change all fluids here soon even brake fluids.

This has me a little worried ... was towing a 27 ft camper. Luckily pump went out before getting on road.

Shouldn't be

I would replace the rotors if your going to tow as they can rust from elements

Great thx ... getting brakes and rotors checked out this week ... then head camping again soon
