Bad power steering pump - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I replaced my power steering pump only a few months ago and now my new pump is starting to cut out and make noise if I turn the wheels when Im not moving. This is the exact same thing my old pump did at first and it just got worse until I had to replace it. I checked the fluid and its full. I only have a single steering stabilizer on the truck but I dont know if its any good. When Im driving the truck steers very easy.

Is there something else that could be making it do this or is it bad? If its bad, why am I going through pumps so fast?
