[oletrucks] filling power steering system

["T Cooper" <tntcoop@earthlink.net>]

Is there any secret to filling a new power steering pump and used although
maybe drained steering box on a 350 Chevy? I was told to fill the reservoir
to close to being full and then turn the wheel from lock to lock and do that
many times. However he didn't say if the engine needed to be running but I
assume it does need to be running. Any helpful tips are appreciated.

Also can automatic transmission fluid still be used for power steering
fluid?
