Can I loop my power steering pump back to itself? I'm building a 56 f100 with an 5.3 out of an 06 silverado. The truck currently has a manual steering box that I will eventually be converting to power steering. My question is ..... Can I connect a line from the outlet of the pump to the return of the pump, fill it up with fluid, and run it? I want to keep the pump on the motor for now. I would buy a delete kit from dirty dingo, but I see no reason to since it will only be for a couple thousand miles at most. Thanks.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking..... give it a try and if I make a mess or my pump burns up then I know it doesn't work, right. I've learned a lot of valuable lessons by just saying f*&k it, here goes nothing.... If anyone else knows for sure, let me know. Otherwise I'll let you guys know the outcome when I fire it up in a few weeks. Thanks, Keane
