Power steering cooler?
I've got to replace my high pressure line, and was woundering if anyone runs those after market coolers

I run one but mine is off road only and rarely sees anything above 1500 rpms. Thought it would help keep the oil cooler but haven't actually measured a difference but it seems to turn easier but could just be me.

Ford has used coolers on the power steering for years, but on the return line, not the pressure line.

I put a P/S cooler on my 98 XJ. Went to the U Pull It and got an oil cooler out of a Dodge Van. The Dakota cooler was a little too big.
Nice thing about these is they have real brackets and mounting points. The aftermarket ones usually have nylon ties that go thru the radiator. My cooler ran 17.99 at the scrap yard. I also took the nuts/bolts/hose clamps. All I had to buy was some hose to connect it on the low pressure side. Got a piece of metal at work so the inboard side (passenger side) has someplace to mount. Put the cooler in front of the radiator, just on the drivers side of the OEM tranny cooler.
