power steering

i am replacing all my power steering parts and want to replace the oil coiler line with a real one with fins...on my 94 e350 it comes with one and was wondering if a certain pickup model or year came with one or if they have upgrade parts...maybe someone has done this upgrade and can point me in the right direction...any other tips or suggestions would be appreciated

well my 97 f-350 4x4 does not have one , niether does my 89 f-250 4x4 .they have the same lines you have . but you could buy one . i do think that you could get one factory installed as a option though . you could try b & m or other aftermarket supplier the make several different types of coolers .

does it look like a metal piece of spaghetti? unfortunaetly the ford cooler for my 94 e350 is obsolete because that fits exactly were the old one is on the truck and i would not have to do any mods...another problem is that i need something asap and really dont want to use the big ones that go in front of the radiator that advance or autozone carry...i think it would really help because on my van i have never had a problem for over 200k mi and my truck leaks, squels, etc
