Ok here goes. I did a hydro set up on my K5. I bought a 2x8 ram from TSC and tapped the steering box in the front and below were the lines go in. I also did the mods to the pump (the mod from red neck ram). I filled it with power steering fluid and tried it out. It is now harder to steer than ever and the pump wines like it is out of fluid(when it is not). when I shut off the K5 it bubbles back out of the pump. Does anyone have any suggestion on what I screwed up
 
I tried switching the lines and I did bleed for a while. I found a post that talked about adding a piece of radiator hose to the top of the the pump to add more capacity I will try this tomorrow.
 
The bubbles tell you it still has air in the system. You must jack the wheels off the ground and turn the wheels lock to lock about 20 times before you'll get all the air out.
