You probably have air in the system. Jack up the front wheels of the truck with the engine of and cycle your steering back and forth slowly about 20 times. Lower the truck start it and do the same again. Make sure you check the fluid level a handful of times. If you get air in the system you will have to start over.

if that doesn't work you may have a blockage in the line, or a kinked hose.
