2-Pass Power Steering Cooler

The DERALE 2-Pass Power Steering Cooler (model 13200) is engineered for drivers who demand reliable hydraulic fluid management under extreme conditions. Whether you're pushing your vehicle through sustained high-performance driving, towing heavy loads, or operating in desert heat, power steering fluid degradation becomes a critical failure point. This aluminum and copper tube-type cooler drops inlet fluid temperature before it cycles back through your steering system, preventing viscosity breakdown and maintaining precise steering response when it matters most.

The two-pass design maximizes heat transfer efficiency by forcing fluid to traverse the core twice, dramatically improving thermal rejection compared to single-pass units. With 11/32-inch hose barb inlets and outlets, integration into most automatic transmission vehicles is straightforward—the cooler measures 12.625 x 2.5 x 0.75 inches, fitting neatly into tight engine bay layouts. Construction combines aluminum core tubing with copper fins for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, finished in black powder coat to withstand road salt and UV exposure. The included hardware and hose make installation plug-and-play for most platforms.

Mechanics and performance enthusiasts routinely spec this cooler for automatic transmission vehicles experiencing fluid temperatures above 200°F, as well as for custom builds where stock cooling proves insufficient. The compact 1.51-pound footprint makes it ideal for retrofits where space is limited, from classic restorations to modern turbocharged platforms. Installation requires basic hose routing and bracket mounting; most shops complete the job in under an hour. If your steering feels sluggish in summer heat, leaks develop seasonally, or you're building a vehicle for extreme duty, the DERALE 2-Pass Power Steering Cooler delivers measurable thermal control.
