Anybody running this cooler?

Hayden Automotive 1009 Power Steering Oil Cooler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HE6ULC/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_6dsSvbNDXCYNE

It's made specifically for power steering systems and for only $20, how can we 3rd get owners go wrong?

I might be way late to the party, but is anyone doing this?

Didnt think we had an issue with power steering fluid getting hot. Just another thing to leak IMO.

Its six billion degrees here and I don't worry about the power steering....Transmission maybe....but never the power steering.

Spend the cash on an transmission cooler instead if you have not done so already.

Trucool 4589 with bypass so I think I'm covered there.:biggrin1:

Not needed in my opinion. Just change fluid like you should and shouldn't have any issues with fluid overheating.

Install a Magnefine if need be, but keeping the ATF fluid for the PS system nice and clean is the key for longevity.

I recently flushed my PS fluid so I think I'm good, but what about those on this forum running huge tires, armor, etc. Would heat still not be an issue? No benefit in the $20 "insurance"?

Only time it could possibly be an issue is lots of movement at slow speeds and even then it would take quite a bit to overheat it. Just not worth the added risk of blowing a line off or another source for a leak. Besides, I doubt that little cooler could draw off enough heat in a slow speed situation to matter.

 

[jaredking733]

I'm tempted to come up with a slow moving course that involves a bunch of sharp turns in short intervals for an extended time on a hot day, then record the temperature of the fluid in the reservoir.

Then, add this cheap little cooler, run the same course, and record the temperature.

Because science.

Be interesting to see.
