What is everyone running for coolers? Trans and power steering? I've been running Derale tube and fin style with a fan. One for each. I'm thinking of switching to the all aluminum mini radiator style. Trans could use some more cooling. Steering I'm thinking heat sink style. What and where is the best place to source the mini rad style?
Yup, 3/4 ton and up Ford products are a great place to look for fluid coolers. Super duty trucks have all kinds of oil/trans/steering cooler options on them. I have the external trans cooler off an old IDI truck on my Toyota for a steering cooler.
Toyota Highlanders with the tow package (maybe the regular ones too) have a tranny cooler sized just right for a good P/S cooler too.
I do install a lot of Tru-Cool products at work and have never had a problem with them though if junkyard parts aren't bling enough.
I can get you good pricing on these oil coolers from CBR. They are my preferred choice for engine oil and transmission cooling. For steering I like to use the Howe trophy truck coolers. PM or email me and I can get you a quote.
I am using Derale stacked plate coolers. 25 row for steering and 40 row for transmission. I mounted them bottom to bottom and made a custom shroud with twin Spal fans. Works great.
