Re: power steering cooler
« on: Dec 30, 2005, 10:58:10 AM »
hmmmmmm Its very hard to compare my truck with Marlins, especially Marlins, since he has a Hybrid Toyota/D60 front end. Its wider and really different..

My steering works pretty well, I am using a 14" steering wheel also, but sometimes it seems to pulseate while I am going around freeway overpasses with a long continuous corner. I wonder if it is some air pockets somewhere, but my steering fluid level is above normal right now, and slightly leaking out the cap. One thing though, is that I have remounted my cooler since that picture, and I believe the cooler might actually be higher than the pump :ack: !! I need to check that out when I get back home. I have been thinking about that recently........ :nerv:

Also, I have touched the inlet and outlet of the cooler while wheeling, and I cant seem to feel a difference. But, I also dont have a fan shroud, so I dont think much air is being pulled through the cooler, so it is more or less just something for the heat to soak into instead of instantly overheating the fluid.

Yup, once I get en electric fan back in there, I will move the cooler lower and into the air flow.

Ohh the things to do.......
