It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Strange! No suggestions for you, but do have a question. Each time that you have changed a component, did you flush the system? How did you flush the system? Considering all your problems, maybe you should consider either an in-line filter or a spin on oil filter. After my second power steering pump failure I installed an external Parker spin on oil filter and have not had any problems since then.

The pump that I used was a "new and improved" pump from a Dodge dealer. The housing looked different to the OE pump and included the reservoir. This was many years ago, so maybe it is different again.
