It causes as you know a horrible squeal when turning hard right or left. It is not my belt (it is tight) and I have cycled the steering wheel with the motor off countless times to try to remove the air pockets. Any Ideas....? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 10 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 10 | I watch the pump for air bubbles so I realize that the fluid has to cover the vains... I wish it was that easy. Thanks though. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 | By chance, do you have a remote resevior or one of the "ham cans"? I installed a "front runner" type set up on my crate motor 350. The p/s pump is a billet aluminum unit and much smaller than the others. The resevior is a an aluminum tube mounted on the inner fender. I get a squeak at full lock but can't get anymore fluid in the resevior. If you find an answer, please pass it on. Thanks

I have a friend who is much more knowledgible than myself who swears by the repeated cycling method, it has not yet worked for me. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | My old 86' 1 ton did the same thing until I added the correct amount of oil AFTER I bled the thing and got the air out. | | |
