Ok I need some help
I have a problem, and need to know how your powersteering cooler mounts to your radiator( 5.7 gas hemi only please)
reason being I was told by dodge that they had a few different methods
BUT dodge only offers one model of radiator
and the one they sell, doesn't have the mounts on the bottom for the cooler to mount to
I then tried a radiator form NAPA, and still no mounts, searched on line and cannot find one that will work

I have 3 friends with like trucks like mine, and there's mount just like mine
My local dodge dealers are at a loss, and have no advice, and I have been to 4 so far
I am the original owner of this truck, and my friends like yrs are the same as mine

so ?? how does your steering cooler mount to your radiator
does it bolt to the bottom of it?/

I am if noting else trying to figure out how these other work, so maybe I can modify mine to work
as of right now I have my cooler zip tied to my frame, and thats not going to be long term safe!

please help if you own a 2500 hemi!

 

Here's one from a 03 hemi ram

 

so yours mounts to the radiator too>
thats how mine does,
BUT that isn't how the new dodge radiator is, there are no holes in the bottom to mount to, and no room on the U channel( bottom lip , or what ever you want to call it) to drill those hole in, like the ones in the factory radiator, new radiator is almost flat on the bottom, and thats where i am stuck.


thats my problem, and will be for all that need a radiator in the future
thanks for the pic
here is mine, sorry not the best pic, but you can see there are no holes, and the lip there is less than 1/8 inch, so no way to drill them

 

same on my 05 hemi........

 

My cooler is attach to the bottom of the radator too, but would think it could be attached to the cross member in front of the radator.

 

the cross member is too high to mount to, and the brackets are facing the wrong way and welded on to the cooler
I tries to make a 3/16 '' metal bracket to mount to the cross memeber, and then to the cooler bracket, but it vibrates too much and the cooler rubs the radiator
its a very tigh fit, so that doesn't work

I need a right radiator, and this should be a simple thing
fustrated on how its been
Why dodge doesn't have them is crazy! and wrong!

 

oK then how about the 1500 owners out there whats /how does your powersteering cooler mount to your truck, does it bolt to your radiator??
as many 1500 use same rad as the gas 2500's

??

 

Up date I had dodge on the phone today

was on with them for almost 2 hrs while they tried to find a radiator
turns out they had a different radiator, they no longer stock, and the person I talked with at DODGE customer assistance center
told me he had no idea on how to resolve the issue, as he cannot find me a radiator, doesn't know why dodge doesn't have them
actually asked me if it was possible to duck tape it on ??
I am not kidding, that's what he asked me!!
he asked me if I can duck tape my power steering cooler onto my truck!!!

He then said I don't know what to tell you, other than we don't have any to fit, or know what else I can do!
that I was on my own

this sucks, and that was **** poor service from Dodge

I have been a dodge guy for 20+ yrs now, and never had anything like this happen

what happened to Dodge?

 

A transmission place would probably be able to rig an alternate mounting system. They are used to doing it for transmission coolers.

 

thanks, I will keep that in mind, But I would honestly just like to find a right fit radiator, as NAPA said when I do, they will take this one back and refund me what I paid so thats my goal if I can(not looking all that good) But still looking
