jeep steering column swap?!?

[sgr60]

I just installed mine along with a new steering box. The shaft went in great, just having some problems with the new box. Have a leak at one of the lines and there's a bunch of air in the fluid.

I'm in the middle of mine (04 Yukon XL)....new pump and box. Although mine is newer, one of the suggestions I got was to jack the front end up in the air (both tires) and with the engine off, cycle the steering about 20-40 times. Mine is a hydroboost system but I would think the same method could be applied. Just check periodically to be sure the reservoir doesn't run out.

I read that too - just completed it and it seems to be all good. Going to take it out for a drive now.
