I dropped in the whole engine and acc drive from a 97 exploder. Plumbed the PS pump to my steering box press-press return-return. For some reason I'm not getting any power steering at all. I've changed the pump once already thinking that mb a junkyard pump was bad but still no PS. It doesn't seem to be pumping like it should, but idk. Normally you can see quite a bit of circulation of the fluid but mine just kinda sits there. The pump is pumping fluid. Could the steering box be bad? I have no idea as to my next move. I've been putzing with this for along time and want to drive my damn truck! Any help would be appreciated!
