Upon backing out of a parking space I felt a hard jolt and the truck shut off. I inspected the engine and could not find any leaks or anything out of the ordinary. I then restarted the engine with no problem. When I tried to turn the staeering wheel, I found it very hard to turn. I looked under the hood again and noticed the power steering pump wheel had a little shimmy to it and no leaks. I took the truck to the dealership. I was told at the dealership that these pumps go out anywhere from 10K miles and up. Unsat.
