In order to try and rectify a problem I'm having with my PSC steering box, I'm going to install a power steering cooler on it as per PSC's recommendations. My question is where would be the best place to mount it? I don't do a lot of fourwheeling (maybe once a year) but I do like to drive through puddles and fun stuff like that. I also want it to get a good bit of air. Also, what's the easiest way to plumb it in? I bought a universal kit from Summit Racing for $24.99 (o'reilly's wanted $140) that comes with lines and stuff but I didn't know if yall had a better, cooler, neater, more horsepower adding way to go about doing it. Thanks yall.

P.S. For those that are wondering about the problem, every time I do a lot of manuvering at low speeds, such as backing a trialer into a parking spot that it shouldn't be going in, the box starts to puke fluid and empty's the reservoir. PSC says this is from getting the oil to hot and the pump cavitating and thus the need for a cooler. We shall see.

 

i bought a medium size trany cooler and just plumbed it inline on the low presure return line on my cruiser for off roading. really easy

 

I figured it was easy. Just like a little reassurance from people who have already done it. My easy projects usually end up turning into all day affairs.

 

You got a DSS right? Hang it from there. BUT just be cleaver with how you mount it. Maybe fab up a air scoop with some tin and use the push locks that will come with the kit to affix the scoop to the cooler....thus direct air flow is not needed......OR put it up on your radiator to get airflow from the Fan at low speed...since this is where you are having your problem. The further twards the fnt, the better cooling you will get..........

OR stick it on the hood..........and paint it blue.......

 

Interesting. Never even thought of hanging it from there. It really all depends on how straight I can see this weekend. If I do hang it this weekend, I'll be curious to see what it looks like on monday morning.

 

I have a long 2 cooler type cooler (if that makes sense?) Anyways I have never had any power steering problems so I used both of the coolers for my transmission. Anyways I have it mounted in front of the frame under, the radiator core support just high enough so it wont get tagged on the front end if I drop it on there. Not sure how much airflow you would get with a stock bumper.
