1999 Power Steering Cooler

1999 F-350 PSD 7.3 4x4 All of a sudden pump started to whine power steering fluid was low and saw fluid on floor after putting away, the bottom connection has a crack in the cooler. How hard is this part to find and how difficult to change?

What part are you looking for?
The change of the fluid is very easy. Just follow this video.

Sorry for how I wrote that - The bottom hose inlet or outlet of the power steering cooler has a crack in it. I am not sure about the procedure or should I buy new or try to find a used cooler? Thank you for any responses.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think any Oil to air cooler should be ok. Our powersteering systems use ATF, so any ol transmission cooler should do with the right size fittings, yes?

We hardly ever have problems with this cooler, but I would try and find a used one at a salvage yard. Should be cheap.
