    Sounds like a lot of expansion. Is it foamed? I'd be curious to know if it is excessively hot too.
    My thoughts are there must be a restriction.

    If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

    Fluid was lukewarm, didn't look aerated. I have no idea how to bleed it properly, cycled the wheel left and right at least 100 times before I turned it on then at least 100 after I turned it on with the front end in the air, it's just annoying. Should I just buy another steering box?

    Box is junk, all that metal is from the box. I got screwed out of 500 bucks for a "40k mile" steering box.
