I have a 98 2500 with the hydro booster it was leaking on the inside of the cab I replaced it with new booster and went through the process of bleeding it and all and still having problems with no brakes or steering need some help

It sounds like your vacuum pump may not be turning your power steering pump.  (there is a drive coupling that connects the two.)

 

Give these guys a call.  They are in Murphy NC. (I was thinkin' it was closer to you, but it is not.)  still a great fellow to talk to about these situations.

We just replace a p/s pump in a 2wd 99 last week here in our shop and the guy was fighting with it trying to get it pressurize. Turns out that blue thingy hanging off the side there is called an accumulator or something like that and after he installed the pump and removed it then reinstalled it another tech says to him all he needed to do was crank the wheels full lock back and forth one time and it'll start working
