15 years ago it seemed that the heat sink coolers were the hot ticket for steering and even some guys running them on transmissions.
I had good luck on one rig with full hydro with one, switched all the same parts to another rig and it was enough. Maybe cooler location, heavier rig or maybe both?
Seems like some have stayed with them, while others have gone back to plate and fin or stacked plate coolers. Curious what the general consensus is here.
Have a few very different products I'm curious about.
Current one is for a trans cooler in addition to standard plate and fin. Rig is basically a stock 4runner, but I have had the trans get hot in the snow. The thing about the snow is that obviously ambient Temps are not high, but airflow can be minimal. The idea would be to mount the heat sink where snow usually blows up or packs into anyway.
Then I have my little samurai sxs project that's going to get a basically bone stock power steering set up from a sidekick. Currently I'm running manual steering and because it's so light, it's not bad, so I'm thinking that it will be fine. I like that the heat sinks add a considerable amount of fluid to a power steering system.
Then there is single vs dual pass heat sinks? Is the dual pass going to be better because the fluid spends more time inside?
Last I'm building a jeep for my father in law. 6.2 ls 6l80e full hydro.
I'm thinking a pair of stacked plate coolers is probably more appropriate for this build?
