91 F350 Power steering problems
I have a 91 F350 4x4 with the 7.5. When I bought the truck, the guy told me the power steering pump was bad. I changed the pump, went through the bleed procedure. Nothing. I hear the pump running. It just has no assist to turning at all. Drained the power steering fluid, tried type F tranny fluid, and still nothing. Even jacked up the front end, tires will turn, but still no assist. It has the vacuum style pump. Any ideas why Im not getting any assist at all?

Getting the air out of the system is critical with these. Patience pays. Last but not least you won't be the first to have a defective aftermarket pump. OEM pump assys usually work the first time when installed. For some reason a lot of aftermarket pumps come with problems.
Did you use the proper tools to change the pulley ? If not, pump could be damaged internally.

something tells me that it ain't the pump when the old went bad it may have sent shavings all through the system and now that a new pump has installed it may be a bad gear box. we all hope that's not it. and make sure there's vaccume leaks either
