I just installed a new RED HEAD steering box. Box is great.
So now the story... After I finished the installation I did what the instructions told me to do (rotate the wheel 17-20 time with tires off the ground and let sit for 2 hours for air...) When I came back after 2 hours I rotated the wheel again like it says for 7-10 time with the tires off the ground. I half way started the truck 3 times cuz I don't have an extra person to help me and the I checked to see if any power steering fluid got sucked down and some did. There was still 3/4 of the reservoir full so I thought I was good. NOPE when I want to back out the break pedal when to the floor and truck did not stop... So I threw the truck in drive it was at idle nothing broke accept for my neighbors fucing fence that my rear bumper hit... So anyways after I got the truck leveled out in the driveway I proceeded to push on the brakes and tried to bleed the air out of it that way. I took it for an idol around the block the truck brakes just fine. When I go for full steering to the right or to the left the pedal hits the floor. I jumped on YouTube real quick to see how to bleed the brake system so I tried following that it's worked out OK but now I have developed a leak and I do not know where it's coming from. I checked the two hoses that I connected to the steering box that I disconnected and those are not leaking I do have pictures I think it's from the power steering pump at the bottom we're the hose goes into the pump itself. Any help would be great thank you.
