[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 629796, member: 503"] Does hydroboost introduce a lot of additional heat into a steering system? I have been battling a hot fluid issue on Jessica's buggy pretty much since day 1. We are about to be on pump #3. The first pump was deemed bad but I'm pretty sure heat killed it, second pump lived for a good handful of rides but it is now about ready to give up the ghost. I can tell her fluid smells burnt and just putting my hand on her steering res vs laying my hand on my steering res after we run the same trails hers is way hotter. Our steering systems are identical with the exception of two parts. She's running the WOD hydroboost kit and a derale cooler [url=https://wideopendesign.com/hydroboost-brake-assembly.html]https://wideopendesign.com/hydroboost-brake-assembly.html[/url] [url=https://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-13250]https://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-13250[/url] I'm running manual brakes and the Howe trophy truck cooler [url=http://www.polyperformance.com/Howe-Performance-Trophy-Truck-Cooler-3-Dia-x-12-1150]http://www.polyperformance.com/Howe-Performance-Trophy-Truck-Cooler-3-Dia-x-12-1150[/url] I'm guessing the Howe cooler is probably a better cooler than the Derale and that would be the easiest upgrade but I'm not sure if it will be enough because I just don't know how much heat hydroboost introduces into a steering system. I've always had manual brakes and have no experience with it. Do you think hydroboost is the problem here or is there something else going on? [/QUOTE]
