Power steering moan/whine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Before firing my truck for the first time, still using the original PS pump, I filled the reservoir. Once started it quickly sucked that it and I had no power steering.

I strongarmed it out of the garage and then topped it off. A little foamy in there, but not much.

Now it seems to have enough fluid but its groaning when you turn. Not quite the typical power steering whine, but similar.

Did I hoop the pump when it was low on fluid for a few 3-point turns?

Anything I can do? Magic mechanic in a can, or new pump?
