Steering Gear Box?
 
My steering is screeching like a skinned cat. I have:

1. Replaced the Steering Pump and replaced with a new Referb from Autozone twice.
2. Bled the Steering Fluids
2. Changed the Belts twice
3. Bought a NEW Borgeson Pump from Summit.

Before I do all the work of pulling the Steering Gear box, does anyone have another idea on what my problem could be?

id guess steering gear box if you did all that work. did the refurb pump come with a reservoir? if you had to place your old reservoir on the new pump it could be a restriction in your reservoir. how does the steering feel? also I just changed my box out. The only problem I had was I got a 2wd box from advance auto.... just make sure you get the 4wd box. it looks the same as a 2wd box except the spline is different. The 4wd box spline has a semi circle cut out on the spline where the bolt rides through. easy to find when you know what your looking for.

New Gearbox did the trick. I just did not realize the Gear Box would screech like that. Always figured that sound was symptom of a bad pump...
