Derale Power Steering Coolers
- Quad-Pass
- With 11/32 Hose Barb Inlets
- Cooler and Install Kit
- Derale
- 8-1/8W x 5T x 3/4D Inch
8-1/8" Wide x 5" tall x 3/4" deep, four-pass, tube-fin heat exchanger improves the longevity and overall functioning of your vehicle's power steering system. High quality copper tubing with aluminum fins.
Features:
- Cuts back on heat-related pump failures
- Extends the life of both pump and seal
- Designed with copper tubing expanded into aluminum fins for maximum heat transfer
- Copper is the best material for conducting the heat out of the fluid while aluminum is ideal for transferring and dissipating that heat
- Provides protection during installation with extruded plastic fin guards
- Includes 4' of 11/32" rubber hose with 4 stainless steel clamps and all necessary mounting hardware
- Made in USA
Specs:
- Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
- Overall dimensions: 8-1/8" wide x 5" tall x 3/4" deep
- Core length: 5-1/4"
- Distance between inlets: 3-3/4"
- 1-Year warranty
Perhaps the simplest type of heat exchanger, the tube-fin effectively cools a variety of automotive systems. The concept is simple: Fluid cools as it travels through the core by transferring heat out to the fins. The fins then provide the surface area necessary for sufficient heat exchange to take place, allowing the heat pulled from the fluid to dissipate into the surrounding air. Quick, easy and effective.

2009 Honda Odyssey
1. High quality Good Year hose and decent real hose clamps
2. I'm not a fan of "through the condensor-rad zap straps"; I made up aluminum brackets and mounted the tranny cooler and power steering cooler with 1/4" bolts (nylock nuts) to the bumper so it was about 1/2" from condensor.
3. Hose size matched Honda factory size perfectly. Hoses were a tight fit, so I used pliers to rotate oiled hose back and forth over the nipple while I pushed very hard.
4. power steering cooler: NO mounts so I used 3 insulated wire clamps clamped over the tubing to mount it to an aluminum U-shaped-bracket. I cut the pwr steering factory line, flared the end and used the factory hose with a formed 90° bend into the top of the pwr strg cooler. I later (not in pic) used more aluminum to move pwr strg cooler back closer to condensor. The plastic end caps you mounted on the power steering cooler seemed flimsy and loose.
I am confident I will have a reliable journey through Yosemite, Death Valley and Tahoe over the next 2 weeks.
Thank you.

this is exactly what I needed and works extremely well
by: Scott P10/19/2017
I bought the PS cooler for my Honda Odyssey so I could tow a trailer without voiding the warranty. While towing, you are usually required to turn off your overdrive. This makes the engine spin a little faster and increase the heat of the PS fluid. I was able to tow a small 4x8 uhaul trailer from Denver to San Diego without any problems. I also installed a "plate/ fin" transmission cooler from the 8000 series I believe. Towing a trailer can really add a lot of heat to your trans so this is a must too. I really must say I like the videos you post on YouTube to help installation. I watched them to the point I had them memorized! It's a tricky and tight job but something a good backyard mechanic can handle. I also bought my trailer hitch from Etrailer. Everything worked perfectly. One suggestion is to buy two packages of the trans cooler hose because it can be tough to find out in town if you need a little more. I highly recommend this setup and Etrailer is great to deal with.

So far this has been excellent.. only thing I don't like is the design for mounting.. they expect you to mount it to the radiator with a special type of zip tie.. mine have held on but what if you need to replace your radiator?

Still working perfectly
by: Scotts05/23/2016
Installed today on 2007 Honda Odyssey. Went OK, not great. Removed top panel, bottom splash guard, and grill, but left bumper and bumper cover on and that seemed to work just fine and saved me some time. These zip rods are a pain and it only came with 2? Needs at least 3. Its square. How are just two suppose to secure this thing sufficiently? I had to add my own regular zip ties. But, even worse, the kit doesn't come with enough hose. I know its a universal kit, but how much would it raise the price to include a couple extra feet of line? Now, I have to go find some more line at a local store and pay the brick and mortar premium. The factory line from the ps res isn't long enough to bend 180 and run back out to this cooler. disappointing, but really not the fault of the product I guess since its a universal kit.
Now, for the real test- towing to the max 3500lbs for a two month, 4000 miles road trip. if I still have a working ps pump after that, I will give it the 5 stars.

Great product, great price. Still good after a year, have made many more orders from etrailer since. High quality, great price and fast shipping and easy to follow videos and instructions. What more can you ask for?

Arrived in great shape! Had dealer install it along with Transmission cooler. Took about 4 hours for dealer to install both coolers, so thankful I didn't try to do it on my own.

Still working well. Very worthwhile product.
by: Steve S07/18/2016
This went in relatively easy. I had to buy larger hose to connect to the car, as the hose that came with it was too small to connect in the car.
I've had this in for over a year, and have towed twice in that time, no problems at all.

Professional installed. Working well after 1 year. Expect it to keep working.

See what our Experts say about this Derale Power Steering Coolers
- Recommended Transmission and Power Steering Coolers for a 2019 Honda PilotThe best transmission cooler you can possibly add is the largest one you have space for. You really can't cool transmission fluid too much. For your 2019 Honda Pilot I recommend the Derale Series 8000, part # D13503. We installed it in a 2017 and it worked well. I've linked the video. For a power steering cooler the Derale 2-pass tube-fin cool, part # D13200, is a great choice. You could upgrade to a 4-pass, like part # D13212, but it's likely more than what you need.
view full answer... - What Power Steering Cooler Is Recommended On A 2005 Honda OdysseyThe choice of power steering cooler for your 2005 Honda Odyssey will depend on the amount of room you will have to mount the heat exchanger on your vehicle. The power steering cooler will be installed inline with the power steering pump and the heat exchanger will need to be located in a position where it can get airflow to help cool the fluid. Since you are installing a transmission cooler also, you will want to make sure you will have room for both the transmission cooler heat exchanger...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2006 Honda OdysseyI have listed the parts you will need for your 2006 Honda Odyssey to complete your towing setup for towing a travel trailer with trailer brakes. For a brake controller I recommend Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, # 90195. This is one of our most popular brake controllers and the easiest to use and setup. To wire the Prodigy brake controller on your 2006 Honda Odyssey you will need to have a 4-Pole trailer connector on your vehicle. Then, you will have to hardwire the brake controller...
view full answer... - Does an Oil Cooler Install on the Supply or Return Lines on a Scag Tire Cub Zero Turn MowerCooler # D13212 is actually a power steering cooler. It could still be used as an oil cooler but you would have to tap into an oil line somewhere since this cooler does not come with a spin-on or sandwich oil filter adapter. Usually supplemental coolers are installed on the return line. You would only need one cooler the size of which is up to you but we generally say to go with the largest that will fit.
view full answer... - Cooler Options to Prepare 2011 Buick Enclave CXL for Trailer TowingAccording to the online information I found for your 2011 Buick Enclave CXL with front-wheel-drive, the vehicle is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 2000-lbs unless it is equipped with the trailer towing package, in which case its towing capacity increases to 4500-lbs. Both of the 2-inch hitches we offer for your Enclave have a 5000-lb towing capacity but since the vehicle is rated lower, that lower vehicle towing capacity becomes your actual working limit. The hitch I recommend is...

The hardest part is finding the space to locate the heat exchanger on the vehicle. The cooler is connected to the low pressure line coming from the power steering pump using the included hardware. The choice of power steering cooler for your 2008 Honda Pilot will depend on the amount of room you will have to mount the heat exchanger on your vehicle.

view full answer... - Derale Power Steering Cooler part # D13212 Recommendation for a 2008 Honda PilotYes, you could use the Derale Power Steering Cooler part # D13212 as a supplemental power steering cooler for your 2008 Honda Pilot. This cooler could be used as a standalone power steering cooler, or if you have a factory cooler already you could use this in conjunction with that one as well. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Recommended Supplementary Transmission Cooler for 2012 Honda RidgelineOil, transmission and power steering fluid coolers all can lessen the stress on a vehicle that is asked to tow a trailer. These items are especially important if the tow vehicle is to be used near it's maximum towing capacity. Of these three the transmission cooler is most critical and even on vehicles like your Ridgeline that have an OEM cooler adding a supplemental cooler to further drop the temperature of the transmission fluid is an excellent way to help prolong the life of your vehicle's...
view full answer... - Power Steering Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew CabI had a power steering fluid leak on my car and it ended up being a hose issue that was covered under a recall. This may be something you can look into by calling a dealer and asking about open recalls on your year and model Ram. If you do need to replace the cooler I would go with something larger like the Derale 4-Pass Tube-Fin Power Steering Cooler, # D13212. For the most efficiency in cooling, mount the cooler in front of the A/C condenser core in front of the radiator.
view full answer... - Power Steering Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Ford Truck with a 7.3L MotorThe larger the cooler the more cooling you will get out of it. If you are doing a lot of towing or carrying weight in the bed or even using a snow plow a large cooler would be a good idea. The cooler you selected is a good choice but for the kit use # D13212. It includes mounting hardware, hose clamps, and hose. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
view full answer... - Adding an Engine Oil Cooler and a Power Steering Cooler to a 2007 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4.0L V6Thanks for asking about a Power Steering Cooler and Engine Oil cooler for your 2007 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6. Adding two more coolers is not going to present a cooling issue for your engine/radiator. The coolers allow air to flow through them and will not transfer enough heat to the air going through them to effect the cooling performance of the vehicle's radiator. Your engine oil filter has 3/4-16 threads. So you can determine the correct threads to use from the recommended kits below,...

view full answer... - Hitch, Weight Distribution, Wiring, Transmission and Power Steering Cooler for 2003 Honda OdysseyFor your 2003 Honda Odyssey in order to have a connector that will provide a maintenance charge to the trailer battery you will first need to install a 4-Way, # 118336. Then you will need to install a 7-Way using installation kit # ETBC7. This kit comes with all the parts you will need to add the 7-Way and make it able to provide a 12 volt circuit for the trailer. If the trailer has electric brakes then you will also need a brake controller. I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it's easy...
view full answer... - Power Steering Cooler Recommendation for a 2000 Mazda B3000 PickupPower Steering coolers are not vehicle specific items, so any cooler that fits in front of the radiator or air conditioning condenser on your 2000 Mazda B3000 Pickup would be a good choice. The larger the cooler is the better it will perform so I recommend getting the largest cooler that will fit easily. Measuring is required. The Derale Power Steering Cooler, item # D12213, would be a good choice and you will need an area at least 9-1/8 inches Wide x 2-1/2 inches tall x 3/4 inches deep...
view full answer... - Transmission and Power Steering Cooler Recommendation for 2001 Acura MDXWhen picking out a transmission and/or power steering cooler you want to basically go with the largest one that will fit in front of the radiator. A remote cooler with a fan is typically only needed on vehicles that don't have an area in front of the radiator that will allow a cooler to fit. For your 2001 Acura MDX this would work, but it may not be totally necessary. The # D13503 that we previously spoke about would be more than adequate as has proven to work well on even larger vehicles...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission and Power Steering Coolers for 2019 Ford ExplorerYes, the general wisdom on supplementary fluid coolers for towing vehicles is that the transmission is top priority followed by the power steering system. The transmission cooler I recommend for your Explorer is the Derale Class III plate-fin cooler # D13503. This is because this cooler's 11 x 8-3/4-inch size allows it to very efficiently cool your transmission fluid a second time, after it is first cooled by the OEM cooler inside your radiator. The best install location is right in front...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler and Power Steering Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Acura MDXFor a transmission cooler that would work well on your 2005 Acura MDX the Derale part # D13503 would be an excellent choice. Since this is a larger cooler at 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep it would work great for if you wanted to bypass the factory cooler as well. I attached an install video on a similar Honda SUV for you to check out as well. For a power steering cooler you would want to go with a smaller cooler since they don't generate as much heat. The part # D13212 would be great...
view full answer... - How Does the Derale Fluid Control Thermostat Kit # D15719 InstallTo plumb a Derale Fluid Control Thermostat Kit # D15719 is actually pretty easy. All you do is run both the send and return line of the transmission to one side and then run both the send and return lines of the cooler to the other side of it. I attached a picture that shows how this will look. You would just need to use the send line after the factory cooler so that the fluid will still run through the factory cooler first. I also attached a link to the install instructions for you to...

- Which Cools Better a 2 or 4 Pass Power Steering CoolerThe more times the fluid passes through the heat exchanger of the cooler the more it can be cooled. So the 4 pass part # D13212 would cool better than the 2 pass cooler part # D13213 that you also mentioned. The advantage of the 2 pass cooler would be if there wasn't much room to mount the cooler.
view full answer... - Power Steering Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Honda OdysseyWe do offer a few different power steering coolers in a few different shapes and cooler styles. The most popular and most efficient will be the part # D13212 which is pretty small at 8-1/8" Wide x 5" tall x 3/4" deep and is a 4 pass cooler which means it will provide great cooling power. I attached an install video on a similar Honda Suv for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Complete Setup For Towing A 3,500lb Trailer With A 2008 Honda OdysseyA few things will be necessary items if you plan to tow close to 3,500lbs with your 2008 Honda Odyssey. You will need a hitch receiver, trailer wiring kit, weight distribution hitch, and possibly a brake controller. It is always a good idea to also install a transmission cooler, power steering cooler, and suspension enhancement for safety and comfort. If you do not have a hitch receiver yet, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75270. This has the highest weight...
view full answer... - Oil, Transmission and Power Steering Cooler Recommendations for 2003 Acura MDXYes, the aftermarket coolers we sell will provide comparable performance to dealer-installed supplementary coolers. The oil, transmission and power steering coolers we offer are intended to supplement, but not to replace, the standard OEM equipment on a passenger vehicle when it is faced with the demands of towing. The good news is that we offer a number of combination coolers, ones that feature dual cores to allow two different fluids to be cooled simultaneously within one common housing....
view full answer... - Towing Capacity of 2005 Honda Pilot and Parts Needed to Tow Trailer I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2005 Honda Pilot. It states that this vehicle, if equipped with a transmission cooler and power steering fluid cooler, has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds for a standard trailer. This limit is assuming that there are just two occupants in the vehicle (including the driver). For each additional occupant, the capacity actually goes down (4 occupants = 3,300 pound capacity, etc). I do recommend verifying this information in your...

Staring with the trailer hitch, you can use # 13328 that you have selected. I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. Trailer wiring we will get to but first, the owners manual states that you also need a transmission...

Everything is still working as originally installed. No leaks or loosening of the tie down straps detected. My complaint would be with Honda for not installing both coolers as original equipment. The Honda PS cooler is completely inadequate for towing. It actually is just a piece of tubing in the airflow in front of the radiator. The Honda front end is a very tight package so you need a nice clean garage where you can take everything apart and not be rushed. Watch those videos too before beginning the project
