Power Steering issue

I replaced the power steering pump, steering box and high pressure hoses on my 2004 6L diesel. After attempting to bleed the air out of the system for hours and still no steering or brakes I decided the pump must be faulty. I pulled it and installed another new pump. I have cycled the steering back and forth and pumped the brakes 100's of time as well as attempting a vacuum bleed and still no steering or brakes. My vaccuum pump would only pull 10 inches so I ordered a new one and was planning on trying the vacuum bleed again at the recommended 20 inches. Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated.
