I poured some stuff called TOW COOL that is for auto trans in my power steering pump and this weekend is the first time i havent had to add fluid to the pump. If you have heat probs with your power steering you might try this.

Are you running a cooler also? I bought the smallest AT cooler, seems to keep things happy.

My nieghbor make a remote aluminum resevoir with fins that also has a spin on filter. I'm going to be testing it out Labor day weekend. He mostly sells these to racers but I think theres a market in the 4wheeling community also. Especially those guys running hydraulic steer.

thanks for the info...I'm running a 5x7 tranny cooler on my return line, ans I expanded the resevoir about 1 bottle of PS fluid.
Works for me.

I'll keep TOW COOL in mind though.

I havent put a cooler on yet, though i have one for it. The one i have is an oil cooler for a sportbike.
