Texasjack - When you re-filled the pump did you use Power Steering fluid or Tranny Fluid? Requires Tranny fluid.

Mine too... And the steering got a bit smoother. I could kind of feel the whine as I turned the wheel. After converting to syn, no more issues.

It will take a little while to get the all the air out, but I agree, the Syn did stop my whining.
