Mishimoto Power Steering Cooler 02 08 Dodge Ram 1500

The Mishimoto Power Steering Cooler 02 08 Dodge Ram 1500 is a power steering cooler designed to maintain effective air-to-liquid cooling, improving reliability for 2002–2008 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks by addressing common wear-related failures.

The factory unit uses incoming air from the vehicle’s grille to cool the power steering fluid. Over time and with high mileage, the factory cooler’s fins can deteriorate, reducing cooling capability and increasing the likelihood of failure.

Why choose Mishimoto

Mishimoto applies motorsports-grade design principles to replacement cooling components, offering a direct-replacement option intended to restore proper air-to-liquid heat dissipation and reduce the risk of issues associated with worn or damaged factory coolers.

Key features and why they matter

• Direct air-to-liquid cooling design — Maintains the same cooling method as the factory unit, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle’s existing airflow path through the grille.
• Form-fit replacement for 2002–2008 Dodge Ram 1500 — Enables straightforward installation into the OEM location to return the system to its original cooling arrangement.
