Review on 🚗 Dorman 918 300 Power Steering Cooler: Achieve Optimal Steering Performance by Chris Bowden

This will save you a ton.

love this product Goes straight with my 2003 Trailblazer. Fluid leaking from the PS was identified and the leak traced to a factory installed mild steel POS cooler on the truck. The leak wasn't too bad so some PS products tried to prevent the leak, which actually slowed the leak down a lot, but was a temporary measure at best. Was looking for an OEM part from Chevy and they wanted $230 for one! Local shops also asked for a lot of work and I was looking for over $1000 for this thing. Trailvoy.com had some good info on replacing the cooler and I found it on Amazon as a direct install part. Attaching the part is a bit like PITA, but thanks to the advice of the pioneer community on the above site I was able to get it done in about 1.5 hours. To get there you'll have to remove the front hood and steel bumper from your truck (sounds a lot worse than it actually is), but doing the job yourself will save you quite a bit of money. direct exchange (once you're in) and I've had no real problems with it. The packaging was secure enough to keep the product in 100% condition and to cover all the aluminum and not the mild steel, so I'm hoping it will last here for a while even if they salt the roads all winter. A quality purchase has saved me a lot. Cash, couldn't be happier with the product!

Pros
  • oils and fluids
Cons
  • boring packaging
