If no luck check your pump pressures and make sure the pump is working. I would think most power steering pumps that chevy offers would have enough to move the 400 box.

Mine is a 90s pump so I have no experience with the older pumps.

Someone else did have issues more recent. May look over his experiance and see if it is the same type of pump.

That was my truck. And it finally did work and it still does, but it starts to wine after a while. I am beginnin to think that the reconditioned pumps you buy from Rockauto, ebay or Amazon are junk. Not sure where to buy now......
