So I dont know much about chevy steering pumps, but I know when I put a higher flow rated one from trailgear and ran the motor with no other mods it did the same thing! Got really hot, pretty quick and for no real reason.Trailgear told me I needed a bigger fluid resivior and a power steering cooler! They said since the rate of flow more then doulbed over stock it was using the same amount of fluid from before the upgrade now only to be circulated more then ever!! A power steering cooler is just like a tranny cooler, bolts on to the radiator or around it and I believe mine is routed, resivior- pump- cooler- to the box- then back to the resivior!!Maybe try adding more line to add more volume to the system and maybe try and pick up a $20 carquest special steering cooler:awesomework:Hope this helps!! Good luck with it man and keep us updated:beer:
