How can tell if a whine noise on a Pontiac grand prix is it the power steering pump?
If the power steering pump is making a whiny noise on a Pontiac Grand Prix, the way to tell if this noise is from the pump or another source is to turn the steering wheel.

If the power steering pump goes out on 99 suburban do you loose power brakes also?
If you have a hydroboost brake system (on 3/4 ton diesel and some 3/4 ton 454 trucks) you will not have power brakes if you loose the power steering pump. However, if you have any motor besides the 6.5 diesel or 7.4l, you have vaccume assisted power brakes. You can tell which you have by looking at the firewall where the master cylinder is, if you have a large round pancake looking thing attached to the back of the master cylinder you have vaccume brakes, if you have a small hydraulic gizmo (you can tell by the three power steering lines attached to the sides of it) you have Hydroboost brakes that operate off of the power steering pump.
