Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Power steering cooler on 2002??

[jalberring]

Hello, I've searched for this but haven't found anything.



I was looking around today and noticed that I didn't have a power steering cooler. (One that I could see anyway) Are the trucks supposed to come with them or not? I have the trailer tow group, HD transfer case, off road skid plates.



I read one post about a 2000 truck with trailer group that was supposed to come with one but didn't. That was the only thing I could find.



Would this be something worthwhile to add and if so could someone tell me where to splice into the lines at and also what parts (transmission cooler, hoses, etc) to get?



Thanks, Jason

The gas engine 2500's with the tow package get the power steering cooler, the diesels dont. Conjecture ( look out ): I think that DC doesnt put them on the diesels because of the extra plumbing on the hydraulic brakes which they feel will "sink" enough of the heat. I plan to add one, my mechanic told me it was a good idea and where to splice it in. Email me and I'll try to explain where he indicated.
