Here is where I will post the continuing repairs & upgrades on my 2000 Ranger 4x4. My latest saga is a p/s leak that I have traced to a seam on the p/s cooler tube that is mounted on the bolts that mount the steering rack to the frame. While doing some research I came across a post on a Explorer/Ranger forum that stated the person used a aftermarket p/s cooler from Advance Auto Parts. So today after work I stopped at the local Advance Auto Parts & purchased the p/s cooler by a company called Imperial part #-241009 which just so happens to be the exact same size as the one that came out of my Ranger except the tubes are a little shorter, but I have an idea on how to get around that. I just have to make a couple mounting brackets since the brackets on the factory p/s cooler are part of the cooler assembly. A "how to" will follow. I cut the tubes off the old p/s cooler so I could remove the mounting brackets so I could fabricate a couple new brackets.
New p/s cooler top, old p/s cooler bottom.

Mounting brackets off old p/s cooler.
