Steering problem
1988 Ford F150 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150K miles

Replaced power steering gear box and now power steering does not turn wheels. Power steering pump is not working (no sound at all!)
I dropped the steering column extension rod and two pieces of broken metal that appears to be a shim fell out from from inside of extension rod. Does this shim appearing part affect electrical contact to power steering pump action.
Do I need to add gear box lubricant or does steering fluid lubricate pump.
Need truck for work!
Thank you Eduardo.
