Sounds like the alternator has failed and you ran the vehicle until the battery was drained.
how do replace a power steering hose on a Chevy c-1500 pickup truck
If a 88 Chevy Pickup Truck seems to be low on power the timing should be checked. The fuel pressure and fuel pump should also be checked and may be the source of low power in the vehicle.
A dodge pickup 1500 would stall out while driving because of a defective air filter.
Could be a blown fuse.
you might have a bad vehical speed censor or a loose wire

No you can't.
Low fuel pressure
It could be your connection to your battery. If its bumped loose, you would lose all power, even while driving.
a Chevy small block will drop right in ha that will get that little turd to move
Loose battery cable much?
first, go to a junk yard and look for an owner's manual. the E-AT switch is for your driving pattern. the E-AT is every day driving. power is for when you think you need more power, such as a tow.
