Default Power Steering Cooler?

hey guys any of you running a power steering cooler? i have seen these around auto zone even has a specific kit for rams and the price is not bad. i was thinkin that this might extend the life of the steering rack? or would it just be good for the pump?

The small rad in front of the main rad at the bottom that has course fins is for your steering. Pretty sure all 3rd gen rams have em

Yep, the small one (bottom) is for the steering and the larger one (top) is for the tranny.

Yeah, all trucks I have seen have them already. Some guys like to upgrade their trans coolers though.
