Question I noticed the lack of power steering only to follow with over heating as well as batt light on. with nowhere safe to stop, i cranked the heat and hauled my rig to trusted mechanic. whats the best/ worst case scenario
Answer Best case? Serpentine belt broke.
Likely case? Broke for a reason. Like waterpump failure.
Worst case? Lack of coolant overheated the engine and warped the head, blowing a headgasket.
Good luck! hope it's the waterpump. Replace the belts and the thermostat at the same time if it is.
