Power Steering Cooler Line
79 F250 400. Looks like I am leaking power steering fluid from the cooler line that snakes back and forth on the front cross-member of the frame.
LMC has one for earlier F150s, and JBG has one for 80-96 trucks, but I have not found one for my 79. Are there any other alternatives out there anyone would recommend? Going to keep looking. Thanks!

Line, p/s return w/ cooler section
78-up F100-350 2WD
D8TZ-3A713-E
None of my sources have any.
Hose, p/s return WITHOUT cooler section
D8TZ-3A713-B
Parts International has (1) (888)-727-0418
Bob Allen Ford has (1) (913)-351-3000
Bowman Sales & Service has (2) (701)-523-3257
On mine (73 F100) there are two different hoses too. One attaches to the steering box and goes to the pump reservoir, for trucks without the cooler. The other (like mine) is just a short piece of hose that goes from the cooler outlet to the reservior.
Another alternative is to call Inline Tube, they can custom bend any line you need. Inline Tube - Preformed Stainless & OEM Brake Line Sets

Personally, I would ditch the long and looping return line and install a finned cooler - shorter lines, less prone to damage if installed correctly, and easier (and less costly) to replace/ service.

Thanks, been lurking for a few weeks since I picked up my F250. Great place you got here.
>I would ditch the long and looping return line and install a finned cooler
Something like: Power Steering Cooler USED Sure looks easier than those loops.
For a lightly used (plow) truck I might just as well go without. I am in MN...
