This is all on my 2001 Yukon Denali 6.0L
Long story short, pulling in the driveway, power steering fails (my father in law was driving my truck at the time). Finally towed to my house and in the garage. Power steering pump shaft broke (its obvious when you can pull the ps pulley in/out!). After replacing the ps pump, the truck idles barely at 500rpm and almost dies without any gas pedal actuation. Took her around the block to ops check the pump (works fine), but the truck will barely stay alive (died once while decelerating)??!!!
WHAT THE HELL COULD IT BE?
I think that the truck was starting to die or did die when my father in law was turning into the driveway and the force required to turn these large wheels/tires broke the shaft (I know that the Yukons have steering issues anyway).
CAN ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS?
ANY HELP/INSIGHT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

When I hooked everything back up and fired it up, my speedometer is pegged at 120 and wont roll back...
WTF?
