Cool New power steering pump whining!

I just put a new power steering pump on my 95 f-150 big six and its whining like a baby. I put lucas fluid in it and I've bled it. Any suggestions? Also I've read about putting a saginaw pump on it. is that a good idea and how difficult is it?

if you just installed a new A1 pump its the equivilent. you need to jack the front end up with the tires off the ground and move the wheel back and forth about 30times to work out all the air etc.. double check your fluid level as well

I've already jacked it up and turned the wheels back and forth several times. lots of fluid came out of the reservoir but i kept it full.

Did you turn it from lock to lock? Or just back and forth?
