So, my 76 had a stock 302 in it but now has a '98 351W with a '98 Explorer serpentine swap. Along with this is the newer style power steering pump. I still have the power steering pump hooked to an aftermarket power steering cooler that is mounted on front of main radiator that was there when I had the 302 in it. Im starting to get some leaks around the hoses where they are clamped on to cooler. I was going to put new hoses and clamps on it but thought about getting rid of the whole cooling system all together. BTW if it matters,I still have stock steering box. Thanks for any direction or even pictures of what you have done. Thanks again

I have put PS coolers on all my Broncos... Usually, one from Summit: Derali #DER-13200 PS cooler

And for some reason, I am not getting the option to post pictures? I know I am curreny...

That is similar of what I have. Maybe I'll just swap out new lines and clamps. I hate the leak

What do you mean by newer style? My Explorer sway is not producing power steering assist so I'm thinking the pump is bad and looking to replace it. Is this an upgrade to OEM? Thanks.

I don't have a pic of it, but it is a stock Explorer PS pump. Sits high and made of clear plastic.
