power steering and brakes overheat

i just got done last night changing out my power steering pump and gear box on my 99. they work great for about 10 minutes then start to overheat. the brakes become hard to push and the steering becomes stiff. any idea on what would cause this to happen. i think i bled the system correctly as i must have turned the wheel back and forth at least 80 times if not more. no air in the fluid even after they start overhearing. what could cause this. does it mater to which return ports the lines go to on the pump. i for the life of me cant fugure it out and none of the shops around here have ever heard of this happening. anyways the trucks sitting in the driveway again.
