P/S whine will not go away!!!!!

Can't the truck is gone, was swallowed up by 8' of saltwater from the surge of Sandy.....along with my house, garage and every tool I owned.
I did have a video of it that I never posted, but it was on the computer that got swallowed also, I might have a copy somewhere but I don't know where anything is anymore, at this point.
If I ever find it again maybe I'll post it, although it's not at the top of my priority list at the moment and unless I end up with another Dak that has a whine then it probably won't be.
Just wanted anyone that was doing a Search to know that in my case the problem WAS the pump....and nothing else. Sometimes you just can't stop the whine when the pumps are designed poorly.

Wrong pump / Wrong fluid
I went back to carquest to get a new pump. They were ready to give me an identical pump when one of the other guys came up and said that the pump they gave me was the wrong pump. I'm not sure how their system brought up the wrong pump but it did. The right pump was identical on the exterior but the internals and the volume it could push was different.
This was also very interesting. The Cordone website that they showed me at carquest had a TSB for the pump. It said that the pump should not be filled with power steering fluid but instead with ATF+4 completely. How F'd up is that?
None the less I put the new pump on, filled it with ATF+4, and all is right with the world. No squeal, no locking, no foaming, and not to mention the overall sound with the hood open is quieter. I now can really notice the road noise from my tires which are in need of replacement.
Hope this helps someone.

Nothing survives soaking in salt water. Eventually the rust and corrosion is going to destroy it.
