.....double check how you have the hoses going into the steering valve on the left side-they can be accidentally switched and when that's done it will not work right. The lines cross over each other forming what looks like to be an "X" when they're installed correctly. The lines going into the top can't be interchanged as they are two different sizes.
...did you bleed the air out of the system by disconnecting the ram to frame connection and operating the steering wheel lock to lock several cycles??? There is a distinct procedure that should be followed once these parts are re-installed and fluid put in them for the first time for them to operate correctly.
