I was thinking about using a B&M trans cooler for my power steering cooler.

 

i think the return line is quite large..

 

i saw them and some others.. the ones that say power steering though are quite compact. a lil smaller than a "trans" cooler.. i think pretty much any cooler that fits will work.

 

I have one on my flat fender, hadn't thought about the JK mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I bought mine from Summit Racing.

 

Has anyone installed a power steering cooler.

Did you go into the return line (which is large) or into the line out which I think is 3/8in.

My understanding is that you want to go into the return line but I would need a large adapter to go from the cooler's 3/8 to the size of the return line.

Thanks for the help.

 

i haven't done mine yet, but i think i remember teraflex doing his and posting pics.. but i dont recall where....

WOW just realized i broke 1000 posts!

 

I have personally witnessed 2 JKs boil their power steering fluid on the trails (rocks + it is hot here!)
I am interested as to if a cooler would help, I know you are going slow, but between being a heat sink, a little more fluid, and the fan drawing some air across the cooler, I would think it would help

 

Pictures anyone?

 

One last call to anyone who knows how to go about installing a power steering cooler in the JK with the return line having a very large diameter.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I have a PS cooler on mine although it is a hydraulic assist setup from PSC. I can tell you that it does make a big difference in fluid temp. As far as install goes you need to put the cooler on the return side of the system.
