I'm Awesome
Just replaced my leaking pump, pulley, and high pressure line on my 88 C1500. I jacked the front wheels off the ground filled the PS pump up to the cold full line and with the engine OFF turned the wheel side to side bump to bump probably 200 times, I refilled the fluid occasionally but it didn’t seem to get much air out, some definitely came out though.
I let the truck sit overnight unbothered and this morning I went to turn the wheel again another hundred times and proceeded to start the engine, I turn the wheel to the sides and hear a bit of a whine from the pump, I shut the truck off and find foam in my fluid, I let the foam settle and refill the pump. A couple hours later I call a mechanic friend of mine and he told me I was doing it all wrong and needed to turn the wheel with the engine running, when I do this all I get is foam!
When turning the wheel with the engine running I hear all sorts of noise from the pump, should I continue the bleeding process even when I’m hearing noise?
I just can’t seem to get the air out of this pump!
Thank you for any responses!
