As for the power steering, you did not flush the entire thing.To do that, you need to take the low pressure line off of the steering box and allow the system to drain into a drain bucket.Cycle the steering wheel back and forth a few times to puke the rest of it out of the box.Now, replace the hose onto the box( low pressure line has a hose clamp, the hose is not crimped to the hose end like the high side) and fill with fresh fluid ( Dextron ATF works fine).Next, let the fluid percolate out some of the air and refill the resivoir. After that, start the engine, and c ycle the wheel back and forth full lock to full lock to bleed the system.Now, check the resivoir to be sure the fluid level is right and you're done. The biggest problem you may have with bleeding the brakes is the ABS system.You will need to deactivate it by unplugging the load compensator valve ( I think that's what it's called)under the middle of the truck.Now, another option would be to gravity bleed the system by losening the bleeder screw and letting the system drain until you get fresh fluid, then doing your final bleed with a vacuum or pressure bleeder, or a friend hitting the brakes-our choice.
