Default P/S still whines after replacement

so i am in the final stages of replacing water pump, t-stat and P/S pump and have the cooling system finished. now i am trying to finish the power steering and once i start up it immediately begins a whine. not sure where to go from here as i have not personally done a Pump before and im just not sure if its air in the system or what is going on. any insight would be helpful as i want to try and get this done tonight. thanks guys!!

(96 4.0 HO 4wd btw)

It probably still has air in the system. You can work the steering wheel back and forth while just sitting still. The air will usually work it's way out in a while.

Then check your hot fluid level and fill to the mark.

Are you using power steering fluid? Or ATF?
