[QUOTE="jondle, post: 1618476, member: 2598"] I am not an expert mechanic, but I don't see how you can have a leak without fluid coming out. The entire power steering system is pressurized once the pump is running. If there was a leak for air to get in, the pump would push fluid out, and you would have drips. Maybe someone can point out something I'm missing, but it doesn't make sense to me. Maybe you have a kink in the hose, a pinched line, or some other type of obstruction? It would be messy, but you could pull the lines off the rack to verify you're getting fluid all the way to the rack. You could even start the truck briefly and verify fluid comes shooting out once the pump is running (maybe disconnect the spark plugs and just let the starter turn the pump a couple times??).
