Has anyone installed a cooler for the power steering fluid? When I changed teh steering box, the fluid was quite burnt. I am new to power steering systems, and don't know how it should be plumbed.

 

don't know about that... but I would just put in a good synthetic and I think you should be fine... <br><br>Tony

 

i plumed an in line cooler to mine on my Jeep (that has full hydro steering)<br>was not hard mount the cooler cut the return line pulmb the new hoses return line is low pressure (i used std. hose clamps doubled up for safety)<br><br>dont have one on my dodge though

 

Which line is the return out of the steering box, inboard or outboard?

 

Did you ever install a cooler??? I put one on mine. When I changed the gearbox, the fluid was burnt and nasty. The hose i used was marked. It said power steering return hose. Yes it was actualy marked Didnt notice it untill i had it off though.

 

Probably would not be a bad idea since this fluid gets no filtering or cooling to amount to anything. I change mine out once every year and flush about three quarts of fluid through the system.
