Should 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ for Trails Use Power Steering Cooler
Question:
I have a 90 jeep YJ now has a V8 we go trailing in the woods and its not a heavy jeep and I dont tow with it but when were in the woods the trails go back and fourth a lot and im on 35s I havent had any problems but im thinking more in the direction of preventative maintenance like why wait for it to become a heat problem just cool it and be done , I looking at the heat sink 2 pass kind , but I get people on both sides giving their opinions, I need just to ask whats yours?

It can't hurt to install a power steering cooler on your trailer Jeep Wrangler. Some vehicles don't ever really need them and it doesn't' really help to install them but it won't affect anything negatively. If your steering wheel doesn't get harder to turn after hitting the trails pretty hard or make any whining noise you probably won't see much of a benefit.
For the price and potential benefit a cooler like the part # D12213 would be cheap insurance.
