So if the hydro vac pumps have two return ports, one for the return from the hydro vac and one returning from the power steering gearbox , And you wish to add a remote cooler, which line would you plumb it in??
The stock cooler went after the PS gearbox in the return line to the pump.
If the return line was tee'd ...I would put it after the Tee so all fluid could be cooled. If two separate returns are used only half of the returning fluid would be cooled.
Any ideas?? Or is this even a problem?? Which would get hotter?
