[QUOTE="BUILTnotBOT, post: 1478520, member: 17539"] The radiator I bought for my 6cyl Wrangler (with an np435 MANUAL TRANS) came equipped with automatic trans fittings on the bottom for cooling. What im wondering is would it be a bad idea to run my powersteering lines into these fittings to help keep the hydro assist cool? I do have an exisiting cooler on my steering setup but I like the idea of doing away with another thing hanging off my radiator.... IDK the working temps of power steering lines but i use the same fluid as an auto trans, ATF+4, for my pump and untill I installed a small cooler on my assist setup the fluid would heat up and puke like nobodys business... The biggest downside that i can see is should the PS fluid or Coolant get too hot I run the risk of losing BOTH rather than just one. But automatic transmission setups (ideally what a radiator like this is made for) run that risk everyday. It seems like it really comes down to the working temp of the PS fluid. ANYWAYS.... Has anyone done this before? What do you think about longevity of a setup like this? Any advice or help is much appreciated:beer: [/QUOTE]
