I find that synthetic power steering fluid helps a lot, specially if you choose not to run a cooler

That works till you are south of the mason dixon line. What about when the water temp is 82, 83, 84 degrees.... which it usually is down here in summer months.

Actually, I run that in my power steering and trim and tabs.... cant say enough good stuff about it. I run a trans cooler on the steering but maybe thats why its never even warm.

Of course they do, if I was selling PS coolers I`d tell you you need one asap too .

I`m going to ditch it cause thats the kind of rebel I am lol

My BIG A$$ over flow holds some fluid I say good enough.

I've always used a cooler and have in the past seen a steering pump overflow because of lack of the same .Seems like cheap insurance and ez to hide under motor
