Honestly Phil, it's the same concept as adding anything inline of the PS system. Find a tranny cooler at the pick 'n pull, tap into the line that feeds the rack from the pump and run the cooler in-line of that. It would just a matter of finding a place to mount the cooler. IDK, that's what I would do if I were fabbing it up.

speedfoos correct. Just finding a place to mount and making sure you have a leak free connection, I would recommend using high pressure fittings or barbed fitting will do.

You need 2500 PSI lines for the pressurized PS lines. Its more than just a barbed fitting. Russell makes lines, but you're better off going and having crimped hydraulic lines made.

it cools it:lol:

Depending on the tires and the abuse, the PS fluid will bubble and froth up. My friend was able to do it after two autox runs.
