I've installed a GM Performance serpentine belt retrofit system on my classic truck. It came with a new power steering pump. I had installed a rebuilt power steering gear box when I rebuilt the truck.
Now my power steerig fluid is over-heating. (223 degrees F)
What's causing this?

are you using power steering fluid? Or ATF? if the power steering is a late model you will most likely need a cooler installed for that pump
