Steering issues
Ok so I was getting a load of gravel (still lovin the 6" Pro-comp
springs) and after I was done unloading it I noticed my power steering
was in and out. If you've ever had air in your system you know
what I mean it'll there one minute then the next no power steering at all.
I replaced the pump and checked for leaks but it's still doing it...just
not as bad as before. What could possibly cause this?

It was strange all I was doing was backing into my field to dump some
gravel then I go to move my truck and the power steering is in and out.
I replaced the pump because I figured that was the problem. I do not
see any leaks my lines are dry and so are the fittings. To bleed the system
all you have to do is turn the wheels all the way to the left and right
slightly hitting the stops a couple times until no more air bubbles up I did that.
But I don't seem to have stops anymore. ever since I lifted the truck
and did the crossover steering. As far as fluid goes I had some
NAPA power steering fluid sitting around so I used that.
I'll check the two hoses tonight and fittings to make sure again there
are no leaks. Then maybe I'll lift the front of the truck and crank the
wheels a couple times. I'm not sure what else to do.
