power steering upgrade question

So I replaced my steering gear box 10k miles ago and now my power steering is whining like a dying cat... I fill the fluid up and a week later it's back at it whining again... I was looking at the psc motorsports steering assist kit... you send them your gear and they rebuild and modify it to a hydronic ram assist setup. Anybody done this to their rig? Thoughts? Should I just go with a redhead gear? Ideas? Anyone done anything else or went with another setup to cure our steering woes?I have an 2003 7.3 excursion btw... I realize I put this in the wrong forum but I think it still applies
