    Anybody using a power steering cooler? When I drive long distances the PS fluid gets pretty hot. I was looking at the Duo-Cooler in the latest Bob Drake catalog but don't know much about them. What do you recommend?

    Most big 70's and up Fords have a little loop cooler somewhere close to the radiator from what I have seen. But I'm known as "cheap" and don't go buy some fancy aftermarket piece if I can find a simple piece that was designed by factory engineers for pocket change in a wrecking yard.

    Depends on what you have/building. If its a big buck rod with lots of bling, I wouldnt put some old factory unit in it, but if its a driver, than hit up the wrecking yard and grab a stock one.
     
  6. Chevy 3/4 and 1-ton trucks and vans have a loop you can pull, especially if they have hydroboost brakes.
