If there are no pinches/kinks in the lines, cooler checks out ok, bring it back to the dealer. There is a relief valve in that pump and if it's a rebuild had to come with some kind of warranty. Some rebuilt units come without the reservoir or valve and it may have been put together wrong.

we need some more info on what its not doin or doin. is the pump make noise when turned? does it growl? is it fighting itself? is the steering really stiff? a dealer installed it and your trying to fix it? contact them to fix it.
