More P/S Pump Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am still trying to figure out why my new power steering pump won't work correctly. I have tried jacking it up with the engine running and turning lock to lock for about 45 minutes but it still feels the same (Not smooth). If I turn the wheels lock to lock with the engine not running it sounds like there is air in the system. And also it will spit fluid out of the cap on the p.s pump when turning with engine off. Is this air forcing the fluid out or is it normal for this to happen just because the pump isn't turning? Thanks.........Lumpy
