m923 power steering pully

[maxxplanck]

I had my M923 running for about 45 minutes as I power washed and cleaned the rear cargo cover. As I was backing down the driveway the steering wheel started to vibrate and then a few seconds after that I lost power steering. I parked , then flipped up the hood and my pully to my power steering fell on the ground with two broken belts , Im sending pics. Any idea what could have caused this to happen ? And to fix this problem would I need a new steering wheel pump ? A few days ago when I checking the fluids everything looked normal

Did the pump itself lock up and cause the belts to break or did the pulley just come loose and go flying?

If the pump is bad contact csmdavis at Camp Shelby......he has the inside track on parts coming out of there.

Wreckerman893, yes, it looks like the pump did lock up and the pully did come loose, I have a freind who's a diesel mechanic who new right away what happened now I'm looking for a new pump and power steering pully ( csmdavis ) is he an SS member ? if not how would I get a hold of him. Thanks Rich
