yes it was milking to start with we took the line off and ran the truck until we got clear red fluid. didnt hear any kinda noise at all, not as much as a squeak or squeal. what steering gear are you referin to? the steering box? or the pump? both pumps we had have been sitting who knows how long. we may just pull the one from a running truck and try that this weekend i guess. thanks for the replys
