We talked with Tom Lee of Lee Manufacturing who builds racing power steering boxes, and pumps and he prefers the fluid temperature at 180 degrees F, but he also says anything below 250 degrees F is acceptable. What will kill pumps is temperatures exceeding 300 degrees F. |

I bet with it never reaches 180* with constant cool water running across the cooler as opposed to an automotive application.

Only one way to find out. Add a power steering fluid temp gauge!

Haven't run the PS cooler in four years, pump is still fine. Has anyone actually lost a PS pump because of overheating?
