Power steering cooler

EppNation said:

Also added a full flow filter to power steering (post cooler), and 'while I was in there' pulled trigger on making coolant bypass filter happen.

I got a 1.75" coupler on ebay with 1/4npt already in it that I have right there on upper radiator hose, and return from filters goes back to reservoir

I retract any indication of late model 3500s being the only ones with PS cooler.
I stand corrected.

My 97 K2500 Suburban didn't have one, so I added one along with matching trans cooler go oil cooler, and then just went bat **** crazy on stainless EVERYTHING.

Just saw this... damn well-fitting/laid out cooling/filtering system, quality work indeed!
What did that power steering cooler come from? Looks kinda like a Ford auto-trans cooler... (across the top of the support).
Im also of the mindset to do things to make them better and more durable... (aircraft spec)

They are both factory oil cooler brackets.
The OIL cooler (driver side) remained the same size so I used the existing brackets I started with.
Side note: there is one size larger cooler from B&M/Long that is same width but taller that will fit, (you'd need to fab up an upper bracket) but it would have taken up the space I used for PS cooler.
The TRANS cooler (passenger side) I matched the size to the oil cooler (symmetry just made sense here) and I pulled the oil cooler brackets off off my parts burb.
As expected: air damn needed modified a bit and had to put a couple new holes in upper and lower radiator support.
I don't remember what type of fasteners were used to attach brackets to radiator support(s) but I wasn't sastifed with whatever they were and at the time recently discovered rivnuts. So everything got 5/16" rivnuts & bolts (yes, all stainless) with 243 loctite [emoji106]

OK so I'm guessing those brackets only came with the 2500 and 3500 models...
