I got a small 5" x 5" power steering cooler and trying to decide on the best location to mount it. I already have a large B&M transmission cooler in front of the main clutch fan. Would adding another cooler on the electric fan side cause to much restriction on the water and AC radiators?
It does not have a fan or anything else to force air through it if I mount it behind my bumper or in another location without direct air flow. I know there are PS coolers for other applications that are designed more like a "tube with fins" rather then a traditional heat exchanger. I am also running the stock steering box with out any kind of Hydro assist with 33" tires so the cooler is more of a preventive maintenance and insurance on my new pump then a requirement. So would using it in a no-air flow area still be beneficial or would it do as much good and not even having the cooler?
The thing is small so I could not imagine that it would cause that much air flow restriction to the rest of the system but with the B&M already installed, would the addition of a PS be too much?
