I'm hoping the last two sentences in the attached service manual clipping are the explanation. I followed the priming instructions in the service manual (turning lock to lock) and there aren't any more air bubbles coming out. It took about a quart to refill the PS system. What makes no sense is that the manual says the system takes 1 1/8 quarts and I've now added a new, somewhat larger cooler. Unless there is some retained fluid from the drain, I don't know why I only fit 1 quart. Annoying...

he said he wanted a steak house gift card for his whole family. lol. Well Im glad to hear its not an oil cooler problem as I will be doing mine here shortlly now that Im back from my training.

We can't reward Modshack too much as he's defecting, and that shouldn't be encouraged with gifts.

Functionally the coolers have been working great. It's simply the issue of a new sound after installing the oil and steering coolers. The improvement in oil temps is fantastic though. 95F ambient yesterday and my temps while sitting in traffic after a sporty highway jaunt never went over 215F.
