Default steering cooler?

I've been having problems with my power steering lately either not enough fluid or its getting to hot. I am running the stock pump on a 2.7 and a Scout 2steering box. If I add a cooler on the low pressure side do yall think that would help both issues (capacity/heat)?

What sizes are yall running?

Yes Indeed. I think the heatsink style coolers are better for our sport since they require less airflow to cool. I was looking to upgrade mine, but I sold my Taco. The Volume increase wouldn't be huge, but it would be something more than you have now. You may look into upgrading to a larger reservoir if you want top increase flow significantly

When my radiator broke at Takeover, I put one from an auto tranny truck in there and am planning on using the tranny cooler section of the radiator for a power steering cooler.

Just need to figure out how to route the hoses.

I have that exact one on mine, it made a huge difference. I was boiling fluid over before and out the cap but now it stays alot cooler although it still gets hot if i'm doing lots of tight technical stuff all day long.
