24” steering fluid cooler , never had a chance to overheat . The cooler allowed a few extra quarts of pentosin chf 11s to stabilize the system

You are right. And it’s not going to get any better. My 40” Cooper STT Pros just arrived. That’s why I want to do something about it.

I have a 2021 JLURD with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W LT315/70R17. We were out wheeling this past weekend in 96 degree weather. I have never had a power steering system overheat issue.

What are signs of overheating? And how can you tell?
The dash lights up like a Christmas tree and the message center yells at you. Had this happen when my Jeep was a few days old (on 35’s) in Moab at 105° and a few days later on Imogene pass at 60°, but obviously very high elevation. Didn’t lose any performance, but wasn’t a fun experience seeing all the lights in a 3-7 day old Jeep. I’ll be adding additional cooling at some point, likely when I go to 37’s or bigger.

Casey250 on YouTube mentioned his EcoD power steering overheating in one of his videos recently. I believe he's on 37s in the British Columbia area of Canada.

You guys need to move somewhere like Phoenix, where it's hot as can be, but I've experienced no overheating issues. Not sure why you cool(er) climate folks are having troubles and I'm not.

this is a problem i have not had (yet).
I am having local dealer looking at it next week. I requested swaping my aluminum steering gear box for steel one. Will see if that change anything. I am waiting with mounting of my 40” Coopers. Don’t Want to give them easy excuse for overheating.

I have 2020 diesel, I thought all of them came with the steel one? Mine is steel, and was made 8/2020.
