You sure got that right! I just discovered that one of the wires running to one of my brushguard mounted off-road lights was resting against one of the coils on the power steering external cooler. The cooler got so damn hot that the flex conduit that protected the wires was melted and fused to the cooler. At least the flex conduit did it's job and protected the wires, or there would of been a dead short the next time I turned on the lights! I'm really thinking of a mod to keep the PS fluid cooler, like an aftermarket PS cooler (if there is such a thing).
I wouldn't mind a higher capacity PS pump either!
