Power steering system

Power steering system
So I just recently replaced my gear box, power steering pump, and power steering pulley. When I tried to drive around I have no assist from the power steering system. I have bled the system with engine off and pitman arm disconnected and tires on the ground. When I went to start it and see if I had PS again, I had nothing. No noises, no squeals, no grinding or binding at all. I'm stumped..... either there is more air in the system or.... ?
Any input would be appreciated!

You bought a reman pump didn't you..... when you buy reman pumps its like 3 tries to get one that works. When you open up the reservoir do you see any movement in fluid, it makes a little pressure even when at an idle point. If you barely see any movement even when you move the steering back and forth then time to pull it and take it back and get another one.

Try another pump.. and another, try another box I have found that 30% of reman pumps are bad. Remember the where the reman pump came from, CORES..... That pump was the broken piece of crap you took in as a core 2 months ago. Sometimes bad parts are still badd after they get fixed.

I had a supercharged svt focus and went through 5 pumps in three months finally I talked to svt and they said to fill it with atf fluid and sure enough it worked. When I swapped the pump in the jeep the first one failed so I used atf with the second and it's fine.

This thread has me thinking I need to trade-in my NAPA reman'd durango steering box too. Seems just as bad as the stock one.
You are right, the more I hear the reman'd are no better than the cores they replaced...

Atf is all I ever run dexron 3 to be exact. Its a Saginaw gear box and gm always recommends dex3 for them. My 70 Chevy uses it and even my 2000 e46 says to put atf
