What owners wrote
Splined shaft from gearbox that pitman arm attaches to snapped at bottom of gearbox, causing loss of steering and truck ran into embankment.
While I was on a highway driving at 65 MPH my steering and brakes went out at the same time. I happened to be 200 yards behind the traffic in front of me and I was able to stop the vehicle before impact. A hydraulic hose failed and rendered the steering and brakes almost completely useless. The steering was extremely difficult to control but I managed. The brakes were almost completely gone but I managed to slow the truck down to a safe stop off the highway.
