82 Ford e350 Cube Van Power Steering issue
Had no steering and squealing power steering pump on my 82 Ford e350 Cube Van.
I seen the fan belt was stretched,I pulled it and went to get a new one.
After I put the new belt on it ran great,had easy and quiet steering,all was well.
I came out the next day and the pump is squealing,doesn't want to steer.
It has sat for a good 15 years,I've done lots of work on it to get it going again.
Anyone know why it would run great after a new fan belt and go back to no steering and squealing.
It runs fine unless I try to turn the wheels then I and it makes noise for a 15 mins till it settles down and then the engine runs smooth again.
It's 351 5.8 with 2 barrel carb.

Never. It sat for a good 15 or 20 years,I helped my Dad get it running and move it twice over the years before he passed away.
I'm gonna jack up the front end and see if the steering will move and any air may pop out,if not I will turkey baster the fluids out and try some new fluid and see how much air will come out.
