Need Steering Help. Round 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found the correct coupler at the bone yard. Got it all hooked up. Followed the factory service manual, and filled the pump and started the truck for about 2 or 3 seconds. Then topped off the fluid. Repeated this until the level was good.
When I turn, the pump makes a growling sound the more I turn. Going straight it's quiet. I'm using synthetic fluid. However the bottle says it meets GM specs.
Any Ideas Guys??
Also the steering seems real sensitive. Would a slightly long pitman arm contribute to the growling noise? It looks the correct length. I'm just curious. Darren
