Okay, I messed up. I didn't pay attention to which line on the power steering pump goes to which outlet on the power steering gear. The one line goes from the pump's resivor and the other from lower on the pump itself. Question is which goes were on the power steering gear!?

If I'm looking at the front of the truck there are two ports on the power steering gear box. On closer to the front and further to the left and the 2nd one is further back and to the right.

Please tell me which goes where.

on pump there is a threaded line, that is your high pressure or outlet line, that goes to the gear box hole that is closest to the front of the vehicle.
The other lines are return lines and do not have as much pressure so usually are a hose with clamps (although the return line on the gear is a screw in nut that has a bent line that comes out of it that the hose just clamps to)
