P/S pump heat

I finished up the p/s swap. Everything works great. How hot does the pump and fluid get? I have the pump mounted cooler and everything is new or rebuilt. After a road test I noticed the pump is hot. 68' F100 2X4 FE w/ Ford steering

They do get pretty warm, but if you're running a pump mounted cooler, I wouldn't worry too much about it. My ps fluid cooler looks like about six foot of 3/8" steel tubing running back and forth. It must work.

You can use an auto tranny add on cooler if you want more cooling.
