Very Strange Steering Problem
I have a very weird steering problem that I can not figure out. In November I replaced my power steering pump and the hoses because I had a leak. I bled the system of all the air. It drove okay for the most part but still had some rough spot when turning and the box was leaking. So this month I replaced the steering box and the rest of the components (Arms, dampener and new fluid). I jack it up, bleed the system, and take it for a driver. The system is doing great, but then I notice it stiffening up after I have been cruising for a while. I come to a stop light, idle for a minute and the power steering is back. It not does this all the time. I have bled the system a dozen times an no air is coming out. I do not see any leaks. I do not have the "power steering whine". I just lose power steering after I have been going a mile over 1500 rpms and after I stop for a little it comes back. Any idea what the problem is?? I am thinking it has to be the pump, but would like some input before I go down the route of warranting this one and replacing it.
Has anyone ever had this issue?

It sounds like it may be your replacement pump. I did my PSP back in October. I followed the Atlantic British video exactly. They do everything on the ground, you mention jackstands.
