Cooler for power steering?

Ahhh... that makes sense. I appreciate the quick reply. Hopefully I can dig one up.

Thanks again

Yes, a power streering/transmission or other type of cooler. Follow the hydraulic lines to find what it cools. Water in/out on the ends; power/hydraulic fluid enters through the side ports. I also see a plug on one end and that is for a sacrificial zinc. For replacement, getting the exact same unit could be expensive. You can also install a generic one that could be a lot more inexpensive. I've seen them on ebay. Just make sure the in/out fittings are the same size and be sure to adequately mount the cooler..

There ya go!

Power steering cooler. I had my mechanic weld mine, much cheaper than replacing it and it has worked fine since.

Yep PS cooler, you have to drain those when you winterize or else they crack, there is a plug on them you can see in the pic....
