Power steering lines question
Just wondering if it is ok to delete part 17(my car actually has part 29) and loop 12 and 13 (the rubber hoses) together.
Reason I ask is because I'm trying to install a slim fan in front of my condenser. but the ps cooler is in the way.

Towing isn't gonna overheat the fluid, it's not auto-tranny fluid. Lotsa fast steering (auto-x) would do that. Watch the fluid temperature for a little while, if it's a problem then try & bend some tubing to fit wherever you can.

Ahh, smart man. I didnt even notice part 14 goes there.
Yeah, I do autox. I guess I will try without it. If it's a problem ill relocate the cooler as suggested.
Thanks for the help guys.

or if you dont want to get rid of the cooler but you dont want the line, then you can use a mini oil cooler and place it where ever you want

The reason the tow package for the Pilot includes a power steering cooler upgrade is because often when you tow stuff you turn the wheel at a large angle and keep it there when backing up and hooking stuff up.

and how exactly do you watch the p/s fluid temp. ? oh you must simply look at you p/s temp gauge. the one you have in the little billet alum. bezzel in your glove box that you cant read while you drive! i never understood those things i install gauges to read then not hide them in the glove box 5 ft away.......
