Red face power steering noise

Started last night after a series of burnouts, power steering is making noise and at slower speeds and sitting still is a mo fo to turn. Checked the fluid and it is full which leads me to believe I have burn the pump out. After I scrape the rubber off the side of my truck I am gonna take it to dodge and hopefully i can get them to cover it under warranty. Is there anything else you guys can think of that it might be other than me burning out the pump?

PS pumps seem to be one of those things in these trucks that tend to fail.

Keep your fingers crossed they do not point to your suspension changes.

pics of the burn out will come as soon as i find the cord for my camcorder.

i guess they could say something about the suspension but I Have only done a level kit, wouldnt think it would do any damage to the power steering, but then again I will be dealing with the stealership so I am sure they will shaft me.

no warranty for me. had a shop do it. then after they ticked me off for keeping it extra day cause they ordered wrong part then told me they needed to do a flush (shouldn't they already do one?) and charge me 85 bucks for it I told em screw off took my poor baby home and did a flush myself. total cost for shop 300 and some change. least it turns again lol
