[QUOTE="tallnate, post: 630279, member: 3217"] Several points caught my attention when I skimmed through that link you attached.. these might be worth looking into on Jessica's setup. [b][u]Excessive back pressure[/u] in the brake assist unit’s low pressure return circuit [u]can cause PS system overheating[/u][/b] [b] We have also [u]solved some backpressure issues by slowing the PS pump flow down a bit[/u], as some of these LS pumps flow like mad. If you tame the flow down a bit, you also slow overall flow through the system which eases up the backpressure (caused by high flow rates). Detroit Speed and Engineering has a [u]replacement PS pump output fitting for your pump to bring it down in flow[/u].[/b] [b] There are [u]also many times where a cooler[/u] installed into the PS system [u]will actually cause back pressure, creating heat and overall PS system woes when it does not flow properly[/u]. I know this may sound 'backwards', though a restrictive PS cooler can cause more harm than good ([u]which is why we suggest the use of a trans cooler as opposed to a PS cooler[/u])[/b] I run a tub/fin style transmission cooler like this in front of my radiator and it seems to work a lot better than my heat sink cooler did.
