power steering cooler

[lantz84]

just wondering if any body is running a cooler for their ps. friend of mine has one on his rack and pinion steering and he said it helps alot. i was wheeling the other day and the ps started whining like it was low..checked it the level was fine but it was hot as h*ll didnt know it this would create a problem or not! thanks

Yes I run an external trans cooler as my PS cooler.

Not sure how well it works.

hey thats what i wanted to hear...didnt want to put one on and somebody be like hey you know thats completly useless!! i just started building my steering (3/4 hiems and 1 3/4 dom) so im thinking i might work a bit harder so i might need to do something!

I'm also running an auxiliary reservoir. The extra capacity and cooler help mediate the bulk fluid temperature.

What are you using for an aux reservior? Is it something you fabbed up or do they sell them? Do you think extra cooling is generally necessary on an RBV?
