    Bravo Trim Pump Troubleshooting

    I just installed a new trim pump for a 95 7.4L Bravo and it sounds like its working fine but it will only raise the drive an 1/8 of the way up and the trim indicator shows it being 3/4 of the way up. It stops like as if is all of the way up. Any suggestions?
