    Just curious, why would you want to cool your power steering fluid? Not sure I've ever seen a need for that in the past.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Run your vehicle hard then stick ur finger into the reservoir & tell he if its hot? lol My reason is that I run a spool front and usually atleast 35" Boggers. Takes some extra steering to get around. I think of it as a tranny...it's stated to be cool than smoking hot

    It sounds to me like you could use a steering assist cylinder. I know all to well how it is trying to turn a 4wd with a spool front and rear. Not real fun. Haha

    Not in the budget as of right now, but yes that would help out a lot. I have lockouts right now so really the only time that it'll be hard steering is when it's in the mud!
