No, the system was empty ( I filled before starting) but the vanes were all dislodges and scattered in the bottom of the reservoir, that is why I just replaced the pump....truck had been sitting in unknown condition for at least 10 years, the water pump was stuck ... it is a classic "it was running when I parked it" kind of thing. suspect moisture in the system sticking or leaking valve and I know the seals around the steering shaft at the top of the box are leaking badly .... I am just not able to find ONE example of this type of system either on YouTube or in parts house searches.. so until I can find parts I am not wanting to tear the valve off and see what it really up with it.
