Default Power Steering Help !!!!!

good day a couple weeks ago i have replaced my power steering pump on my truck. i have done everything possible to bleed out air from the system.
1) i jacked up the front end to make sure the tires were easy to move, i opened the cap and started to rotate the wheel fully going both ways ten times then i refill, close the cap. then i started the truck same out come, so i redid the first step another ten times and same out come the squealing noise.

2) while the truck is jacked up, i started the truck up while the cap was off they i rotated the wheel going both ways fully and then i turned off the truck put the cap back on then wait for a few minutes. then i started up the truck with the cap on and same out come squealing noise. so i did this step once more and still squealing.

i know this is not good for the power steering pump or the rack opinion . any ideas that would help me please and thank you for taking your time on reading this.

I went thru four power steering pumps working on my daughters car before I finally got one that I could live with.... Granted, it was still loud, but, at least she had power steering.....
