Usually Abe beats me to posting...what with his 20 posts per day average and whatnot.
Tell me about. He's been on the forum for eight months and he's already above 6k posts. The oil cap thread has claimed it's victim....hehehe.

Alex.....apologies for not getting back sooner. I looked Friday for the thermo housing and it's not there. Sorry.

I wouldn't run the PS to the cooler. You don't want the same contaminants of the PS running through the trans. Plus, the PS system should be serviced more often than the tranny. Know what I mean?

He's got a manual trans so nothing hooked up to the cooler ports on the radiator.

Ok, thanks guys. lol Yeah i had really heard of a even having a power steering cooler with power assist steering, only with full hydraulic or in boat steering systems. I thought it would make to good use of the ports. I am sure the power steering system gets a workout off road and in the snow.
