This high performance Power Steering Cooler for the Jeep® platform addresses the challenges of intermittent power steering shut off and pump failure due to excessive heat. Once installed, the additional fluid volume and cooler surface assists in maintaining a stable operating temperature and keeps your system at an optimal operating range. Ultra heavy duty-this component can be installed almost anywhere.
Innovative extra large ports feature low pressure drop and allow fluid to soak longer for improved cooling. A triple pass design and internal fins permit more heat to transfer than a traditional system. Removable end caps allow for easy cleaning in the event of a pump or steering gear failure.
he cooler has a high pressure limit of 1000PSI+ for serious performance, and is anodized for 1200+ hours salt test to ensure a durable finish that will stand the test of time. The Viton seals may be used with almost any oil, fuel, or coolant.
Rugged design allows the Power Steering Cooler to be mounted in areas more fragile systems must avoid, so it can be mounted away from heat sources and other aftermarket equipment. A standard SAE ORB port allows for many fitting options. The cooler can be solidly mounted, no special rubber mounts required.

Need more people so spread this video more
NM youtubers are underrated
Doing the best we can to represent! LOL
Thanks for this video ! I just ordered this power steering cooler for my JLU
Absolutely friend! I hope this video is useful when you install it! APPRECIATE YOU!!!
JL LIFE OFFROAD is there any other fluid that you recommend to use in this power steering cooler?
I added an amazon link to what you can use...
I highly suggest using that
There is also oem stuff... which is like 25$ for 12oz or another brand is red line.
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD thanks, just curious, did you damage your power steering cooler for not using in this video the electric steering fluid that they recommend ?
Thumbs way up.....over looked part that ..is actually important.
👍 glad to hear that u approve! 🙌 thanks for watching!
Nice install. I should be installing mine here shortly
Nice! lemme know how the installs goes!
I had 2 hours of dry fitting!!! But very happy with my final results!
The devil is in the details 😎😂🙌
Lol misty asks me... “what kinda wheeling he do?” Response... 😎”stupid things”
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD No truer words have ever been said!
Another great video. Looks like you need to clean your radiator..
Im scared to see Mistys when I get to hers,,, LOL My jeep is showroom clean compared to hers! LOL
Thanks for watching my friend! we appreciate you!
You got mad skills bro good job and wear eye protection 🥽
LMOA thanks bro, a sub always used to hound me about wearing em.... it just stuck LOL
Do the apex boost kit. Night and day.
Apex makes awesome stuff..
Glad that you say install is different from jeep to jeep and to keep and mind future add ons. Your the man! Glad to still get to see your install because the way you mounted your will be the exact way I do mine since our bumpers are extremely similar. Nice to since I might go red ram also that I will also have to. Thank you so much boss man. Hope I run into you sometime. Stay safe love and peace
If u ever make it out west! Let us know! Either u wanna go bash the rigs around, take a trail ride or grab a beer, we be happy to meet up
Mine arrived Thursday, may wait for my bumper change to install. The power steering overhead again yesterday on the trail.
Which bumper you going with?? The location I picked offers the most clearance for a winch and bumper.
But how I was first trying to mount it,,,, horizontally.... Offers the greatest position for cooling, but sadly it wouldn't fit that way.
That worries me how quickly and often your system over heats, EEEK
Wow Bro 👏...great install ....it looks like a great addition to Bromance!
Thanks buddy! 🙌🙌🙌
My stock pump sticks anytime below 45 degrees it seems. Give us an update when it gets cold again. Thanks for the great videos!
Absolutely will. If this stops the sticking... for the price... I’d be blown away with excitement....
My sticky steering was always moderate to light... mistys was more frequent...
Even if this don’t fix it... I won’t be to upset... this adds a lot of benefits to the system... and can literally grow with any direction I decide to take the steering.
🤷♂️
Nice product now I need a Jeep. I own a Samurai. Great video loved the finger puppet. 👍
Lmao! Aaaaaaaaiiiiii!!!! 😂 it just felt right... I don’t know y.
Ooooo a samurai huh?! Tht sounds like some fun offroad
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD It's a blast. 😁😁
Thanks for keeping it real
Why did you choose apex and not psc?
no real reason. Both make good stuff. APEX was new.... wanted to give em a try... plus it looked overbuilt AF LOL
Why couldn't you just do a universal cooler and mount it in front of radiator?
I mean… no reason you couldnt
Great tutorial thank you for these videos
Thanks for always watching friend! 🙌
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD definitely one of my favorite channels
Thats interesting 🤔 good install man.
It was pretty easy, ain’t gonna lie
Great video like always.
Always appreciate your support Jason! THANK YOU!
It's been a year: Has this solved your cold weather sticking?
Awesome video bro!
Glad you liked it and most definitely appreciate the time you took to watch!
Nice! Gotta consider this.
seriously over built! Appreciate you Moe, thank you!
Still never had problems with my JL's power steering. Even on 37's. Maybe because most my wheeling is much higher in elevation, cooler temps, more breaks along the trail. Who knows! Had a PS cooler on my JK. Also, my bumper has a recessed winch location, so I assume it wont fit.
Great install video! Question: if it's a Winter problem, why does adding a cooler to power steering help? The overheating problem is obvious why this would fix.
So the way it was explained to me... in extreme cold weather... it’s a pressure blow off issue... Smarter man explained it to me... he also said he working on something tht specifically addresses this issue...
The greater capacity of fluid is suppose to help the blow off thou..
15:14 lol nice! Good job on setting up all the camera shots. I don't think alot of people realize how much time and effort goes in to videos like this.
Don't the new JL's have a hybrid steering system that's supposed to eliminate some of those problems? I don't know, just seems like I read that somewhere or sunkin 🤷♂️
Lol plenty of people who think YT is easy.. point and shoot stuff. But it’s work... thank you for acknowledging the effort 😂🙌
Lol, I mean... it should be fixed... but they have yet to fix it. Iv dealt with over heating... we both deal with the sticky turn... it bugs.
But.. we will over come.. 🙂👍 success 😂
I don’t think anyone likes to deal with the dealer after the free oil changes. My only thing would be, it would be a pain in the butt to take my front bumper off after having to take it off once before because I got the skid and added the winch. The bolts are floating for the Poison Spyder bumper with some locking washers that really don’t lock the bolts.
Bottom line I’d probably line this up with something else that needs the front bumper off.
Did you say Heathen is getting this also? With Heathen not being a Rubicon I’d be curious how the install goes without the electronic sway bar disconnect. Once again you make the install super easy. This would have to be something after the Metalcloak skids.
Awesome install video! Would like to hear a review if there is any difference unless really the only difference will be during the colder months.
I hear that often thou,, They would just take it to the dealer in the event if something broke. Some dealers are better then others. Mine, I wouldn't trust,, so many headaches from them, the last one was when I went in for my 'free' oil changes on heathen. had my appointment set up for about two weeks, took it in and they freaking told me it would be 8 hours! to do a 10 minute job! Another time we took it to have the sticking steering looked at, we told them how to recreate it. they kept it several days, told us they couldn't recreate the issue, but they 'seen' this issue and it was her synergy steering. Then turned around and tried to charge us $250 for a diagnostic fee. as I was talking to them, trying to get them to explain their logic and how they tried to recreate it, I just caught them lying over and over.... Like they are used to people who have zero idea how to work on their Jeep.
Im still wanting a new bumper, lol. We did get one for heathen. Install will be the same except no eSway bar pin to hammer out of the way. I find this as cheap insurance, cause if one goes bad (pump of steering gear) you really need to replace both. when and if that happens, Ill change to PSC. Im not gonna drop $2000 to replace OEM steering LOL. NO!
We will release a review video on this part come the colder months, I really hope it helps with the sticking, but with the other added benefits, im not gonna be upset if it doesn't.
Thanks for watching brother! always appreciate you!!!
JL LIFE OFFROAD going to go with a motobilt front bumper? Seems like a legit good company.
I haven't had an overheating, or sticking issue...YET. I like this, Mo. I'm going to finish up a few more things before I think about this. But, at least now I know where to find some info!😉👊🏻🤘🏻
Cheap insurance imho. I’m glad u haven’t dealt with sticking... or overheating...
Sticking... is anger causing... lol
Overheating... wasn’t super often.... but has happened a few times... I know if my pump were to go out... the dealer would just blame it on something... then try to charge me $250 for a diagnostic..
Which is exactly what they did to misty when we brought it in for the sticking... we told em how to recreate the problem... they didn’t do it.... they blamed the issue on her synergy steering and seriously tried to charge us $250 for a diagnostic. The less I’m there the better lol... and $800 for a ps pump... is BS 😂
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD Better safe than sorry, since y'all have already had issues. Maybe you might consider NOT "doing stupid things"?? Just a thought....🤔🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️😏😏😉😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the vid. Great work, bro. Keep it up!!👍🏻
😐 unfollow me 😂😂😂😂😂
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🏻
While filling the Fluid and turning the wheel back and forth , is the engine running?
Yes
Great vid! Definitely will keep this cooler in mind. Would you mind making a follow up video on the Teraflex Speedbump? I have a set of Falcon Shocks and Stabilizer so would like the full Falcon/Teraflex set up.
We have plans ... just tryna catch up on some other videos... the nice thing about those speed bumps... is they are maintenance free.. I know not everyone is looking for another part to service on their jeep... those speed bumps are a foam insert in the tube. Regular hydro bumps require refilling with nitrogen every so often.
🙌🙌 appreciate you watching!!
Talk dirty to me. "rock crawling"
😂😂 dealerships.... love em! 😂😂
So how has it been (Apex cooler) was it worth it. Did you notice a significant improvement especially being in hot climate?
No complaints with mine whatsoever...
22:28 I spy a GoPro looking at me 😎
Lol 😂 gopro..... the b roll machine 😂
So do you think you could mount it lower in the vertical position if you didn’t have the rubicon disconnect system?
Sure do, it actually has quite a bit of mounting options.
i've never experienced the sticking you describe and i'm a winter wheel wh0r3 hahaha! though i'm curious how to get the electric pump to work with a ram...
Redneck Ram has experience with using the electric pump with a ram. You might get in touch with them
How’s the cooler and lines holding up?
Zero problems
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD Good to hear! Installed mine over the weekend. Along with some reid knuckles.
sexxxxy need me a set of those
I believe it’s PSC not PCS... but maybe I heard it wrong. LOL. Why are you using power steering fluid? The JK & JL call for ATF+4 Fluid in the power steering reservoir.
I cringed every time he said it.
LOL, you right, PSC... We all mis-speak from time to time LOL. I never claimed to be a professional LOL ;)
The reason for the good stuff?
This system MUST use high grade pure synthetic. Do not use ATF.
Why the good stuff?
High grade synthetics offer a much higher temperature capacity without breaking down. Even more important is that it will maintain a more consistent viscosity at low temperatures so the steering will not become heavy and blow off the pressure relief valve to soon. This could cause a large reduction in power assist at very low temperature conditions (sub 10 degrees F)
ripped that paragraph from their website, but from what I understand, the JL steering system is class 4 and needs a thinner stuff
JL LIFE OFFROAD I read the install instructions after I posted. Guess it’s not for a stock setup. I saw the “if you need it and maybe you don’t” section on their site.

Yes u are! 😘
Great video but I think you're jeep need a bath and cleaned on the inside the dust
