Dumb Question

I was looking under my truck last night for a place to possibly install a train horn and compressor. I was looking under the passenger door and found what looks like a small radiator awith a small fan shroud. I dont know why I have not noticed it before. Is this a cooler for the power steering? If not what is it for?

Thanks

What truck do you have? Where do the lines on the cooler lead to?

'02 F250 4 x 4 7.3L The lines are running forward I didn't trace them. i would say the fan shroud would measure 6 x 6 inches.

Thanks

No I never had a plow. I will take a picture tonight. A friend thought it might be for fresh air in the cab. That just did not sound sensible to me since we have basiclly a HAVC system.
