I know this has prob been covered but I have been searching for days with no luck. My stock steering pump crapped out on me and now waiting on my new psc pump/res to arrive. While I have everything apart I would like to install a cooler but most of what I see from others have it mounted in the grill area which is not an option for me since my ripp inter cooler takes up the majority of that area. Someone with a similar setup please help. I've seen someone mount the cooler between the radiator fan and the engine but I'm concerned about the heat in that area and would like to find other options. What type of cooler and mounting location??

 

I dont have a ripp but I do run a Howe hyrdo assist set up with one of their in line coolers:
In-Line Coolers | Parts Categories | Howe

Might be easier for you to mount one of these...

 

Mines under my front bumper for now. I want a radiator style with fan though. The inline one just does not cut it on mine.

 

I mounted mine on the front crossmember between the rad and engine. The fan keeps air moving over it which has been sufficient for me even in hot az wheeling. My ps reservoir would bubble over completely stock, but hasn't given me any issues with this setup.

 

Do you have any pics of this location and the type of cooler your using?....

 

Its a heatsink style dual pass. 14" if i recall correctly.

Thank you so much for the pics, I think I will go this route and just ordered my cooler as well. One last ?... Do u tap in between steering box and res... Or res and pump?

 

the return from steering box to res. Its the hose on the side of the res, If I recall correctly.
