Brakes lock up when turning!

99 24V 2500

So I parked it today, went to leave from work and cranked it up, tried to turn out of the parking spot and the brakes lock up.. As soon as you turn the wheel the pedal sucks to the floor and the truck doesnt move. Feels like its getting hydraulicly sucked down. Any ideas?? Truck is stuck in the parking lot! Thanks!

All I know is the power brakes get their power from the power steering pump, it's all tied together somehow.

I'd say something is messed up in the system.

Sorry couldn't have been more help, but maybe gives you somewhere to start looking.

Ya i replaced the hydroboost unit about 6 monts ago when I lost power steering and brakes. Just wanted to narrow it down again. Maybe pump issues? But why the heck does it lock up??

Do a search on brake lines collapsing. That may be it.
