Power Steering Redux

As some may know from my previous post, I have just R&R my power steering pump to replace a leaking seal. I refilled with DEXRON III, the recommended fluid for my 1983 300CD.

Steering is now very stiff at walking speed. Feels as though there is no power boost at all. Belt tension is correct, pulley turning, fluid correct level and apparently no entrained air. WTF?

This is not rocket science. The only thing I can think of is that DEXRON III is not right for this car. Can anyone help with similar experience and repair?
