Power steering cooler replacement
After some damage to my power steering pump cooler this weekend, I need to find a replacement. They want $188 from the local chevy dealership! Yipes!
As a last resort maybe I could try to repair it. Doesn't seem to be a part I can get from autozone, or NAPA. Napa has a general purpose cooler. Smaller in size. Would it do the job? Has anyone been "down this road"? I was looking at the b&m, and some other after market coolers for transmisson cooling, cheaper too, but will they work with my '93? Here in South Georgia summers can be really hot. Naturally, I want suffecient cooling. THANKS!

Re: Power steering cooler replacement (choopes)
I would expect a 93 to be same as a 96...and I just got a price quote from Superior Chevrolet in Kansas City, KS.
$125 plus 7 bucks shipping.
800 728 8267 and ask for Chris May....they have a Corvette Forum discount set up. Tell them Tim sent you!
I seriously wouldn't bother with trying to adapt a cooler...will cause more problems than it is worth...and I have had my share of PS problems. :(

Re: Power steering cooler replacement (No Go)
Any swap meet or Corvette salvage yard will have one for you at $25-$35.00....yes the same part for 25 bucks used....just find a nice one with straight fins...and you should be OK :yesnod:
