I got it sorted out today. Underneath the fitting in the pressure side of the pump there is a spring and plunger. My plunger was missing, I stole one from Joes truck and tried it in mine and immediately had power steering and fan. Now just have to try and figure out where mine went to.
 
Im bringing this one back!

Ive read this thread 30 freakin times and have looked all over online how to bleed it! And Ive removed and installed my pump about 8 times now! I had a leak so I took one off my wrecked truck and replaced it, no more leak. But still no power steering. I replaced the pump with the one from the wrecked truck. Still no power steering or fan. I lifted the front end off the ground and turned it prolly 30 plus times and nothing. No foamy bubbles or nothing. I cracked the lines going to the rack one at a time and just fluid leaked(i dont know which one is the high pressure but none of them had high pressure what so ever). I took the pump off and played with the pressure valve it was stuck down so I pushed on it and it came back up and worked fine so I put it back together and still nothing. I bleed the raditator and still nothing. I put the original pump back on and still nothing. Im pulling my hair out here! the only thing i havnt done yet is buy a new pump, but if the fan aint workn i dont want to buy a new pump. Unless the fan aint workin cuz both pumps are bad? Im lost!!! Think im going to go buy a new pump just so ill know that thats not the problem but ima be pissed if I have 3 freakin good pumps sittin in my garage!! ARRRG!
 
Do you have the plunger and spring under the fitting on the top side of the pump? I had the same problem as you and my plunger was missing. Once I got all the pieces in place it almost bled itself, it was very easy.
