First question of the forum yes I sorta searched couldn't find anything. My power steering fluid is overheating. Just not sure if it's to much pressure or not enough cooling. But I'm using a howe t/c pump and it's plumbed In to the stock Ford ranger rack. Currently using the stock cooler. Have a psc reservoir with filter and the fluid got so hot it melted the breather hose out of the cap

Figured out the power steering overheating issue installed a 2gpm valve and limited the pump to about 900 psi no more heat issues.
And some more pictures I dug up.
