Power Steering Help
Has anyone had any experience with power steering fluid coming back out the fill tube? I recently replace the steering box and pump, after filling the pump it looked like the fluid was pushed down into the steering box. But when I tried to turn the steering wheel it felt like there was no Power Steering. When the pickup was shut off, fluid came out the tube. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an air burp to me. I would just fill it up, turn the wheel full left N right, repeat as nessesary. The fluid will be foamy and the pump may be a little noisy, but as the air bleeds from the fluid after sitting or even driving for a while, you should be ok.
I think several of us has had your issue. We scratched our heads and continued on. Everything should be fine.
