Product Description
The PSC CK100 Heat Sink Fluid Cooler Kit is a high-efficiency cooling upgrade designed to control power steering fluid temperatures in demanding steering systems. Whether your vehicle is equipped with oversized tires, hydraulic assist steering, or regularly sees extreme off-road use, the CK100 cooler helps maintain proper fluid temperatures to protect pumps, gearboxes, and steering components. PSC engineered the CK100 cooler with a heat sink style aluminum extrusion featuring both internal and external cooling fins. This design allows the cooler to dissipate heat extremely efficiently without relying heavily on direct airflow, making it ideal for off-road vehicles, rock crawlers, towing rigs, and high-performance steering systems. The compact cylindrical design allows the cooler to be mounted in several convenient locations such as frame rails, under the radiator, beneath the vehicle floorboards, or along the chassis. With its rugged aluminum construction and welded ends, the PSC cooler is built to withstand harsh environments and long-term heavy-duty use. If you're running hydraulic assist steering, large tires, or heavy loads, installing a PSC fluid cooler is one of the best ways to increase steering system reliability and extend component life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PSC CK100 fluid cooler do?
The PSC CK100 reduces power steering fluid temperatures by dissipating heat through internal and external cooling fins. Lower temperatures help extend pump life, improve steering consistency, and protect steering components.
Where should a PSC fluid cooler be installed?
PSC recommends mounting the cooler below the level of the power steering pump and outside the engine compartment. Common mounting locations include frame rails, near the transmission crossmember, or under the radiator.
Is this cooler required for hydraulic assist steering?
While not mandatory, PSC strongly recommends using a fluid cooler when running hydraulic assist steering systems to prevent overheating and fluid breakdown during heavy steering loads.
Does the CK100 require airflow to work?
No. The heat sink design allows efficient heat transfer even with minimal airflow, making it ideal for slow-speed off-road driving and rock crawling applications.
What fluid does PSC recommend?
PSC recommends SWEPCO 715 power steering fluid for optimal performance and long-term system protection.
