just curious, but has anyone installed a power steering cooler for a reg steering box setup on the JK??? it is a great idea.. my ram had a factory one and besides that having a rack and not a box (1500) the pump is similar. i thought it was very smart..

so has anyone done it or should i try it???

 

Well, If I were autocrossing the JK I would add one.

 

u think that would be the only situation it would aid??
i think that with all the steering wheel movement off roading or for any driving that it would help.

hell the factory caravans have one mounted to the frame... now there's an idea.. humm...

 

POWER STEERING WORKS HARDEST WHEN THE VEHICLE ISN'T MOVING. a cooler would be a great idea.

 

If your not moving then how do you think it's going to get air to cool.. It would be over kill IMO...

 

moving or not bottom line is the fluid would have a spot to disapate heat.

 

dot 3 brake fluid boils at over 400 degrees. I don't think it would matter much with a cooler or heat sink. I highly dought it will get that hot.

 

the power steering runs on atf4, not brake fluid, and most trans damage is due to heat over 230. thats why ppl run aux. trans coolers.. to PREVENT damage.

i hope u didnt put dot 3 in your power steering...

 

i've been looking online and i think i can get a complete cooler for under 50$..
now do i want to mount it to the cross bar at bottom of grill area, or use the zip ties to mount to condensor in front??

 

oops, I haven't even checked the power steering yet.
