Yes the power steering pump is involved in the brakes also. It supplies the hydroboost unit. Sounds like you need a new pump (or fix a big leak somewhere).

To me it sounds like you have sticking vanes on your turbo also - you should be considering pulling and cleaning it. If the vanes stick, you can overboost and this jeopardizes head gaskets.

You need to post information on your truck - it helps in the troubleshooting.
