I actually have the external Auto Cooler for the EB that is supplied with the factory Tow Pack which bolts right up in front of the radiator.

I will check it out this afternoon.

Cheers
BenJ

Unfortunately, the items from Ash will not assist at all with this issue.

I have also noticed my power steering get's very heavy on very hot days at low engine rpms, but my mums ED Futura, which is an early ED with heavy duty tow pack, has a power steering cooler & never seems to have this issue.

I haven't paid any attention to how it's hooked up, but i take it that it's on the low pressure rubber line you fit the cooler? I should consider fitting one to my EB.

Cheers

I think I may know what racedirector is talking about but it mounts and runs differently on the EB compared to that extra thing :wink: The holes could be done at a later date

Heavy duty tow pack had the 2nd auto cooler. Power steer cooler was strapped to the front bar of the K frame.

Depending on what model you have -- ONE of them goes into the radiator (drivers side) and then comes back out of the radiator before going FORWARD to the auto fluid cooler (small radiator in front of air con) and then BACK to the auto tranny.

Good idea to rig this up to the steering though if you have a T5 install and still happen to have the tranny oil cooler present though huh BenJ? Sounds like a feasible improvement.
