On my way home (140 miles to go) from TMS NASCAR. Stopped for red light, no power steering or fan to cool radiator. :-(
I assume you have it over to the side of the road out of harms way. Check to see if hydraulic fluid is leaking somewhere and is any left in the reservoir? If reservoir is full and no leaks, the the hydraulic pump may be the problem. In an emergency, I believe you can use auto automatic transmission fluid.

Reservoir is full, no leaks anywhere.
I suggest calling Newell emergency number 1-888-363-9355.
Called a few hours ago. Can not do anything until Monday AM. THANKS Ken
Kenny call me 9188524157 I'll bet the solenoid in the transfer block is stuck
I'll add my two cents worth here since several friends have had the same experience.  If you have a CAT (& I think you do), the hydraulic pump has stopped making pressure and the problem is with the spline (female portion) the pump inserts into which is a CAT part.  They do not hold up well and the splines give out.   The fix is a new CAT part.   On the 07's the turbo studs would back out.  so, if you make it to a CAT repair facility, it might be worth looking into the studs.

This is exactly what happened. New pump and drive gear. THANKS Ken
