Quick question, can you add the cooler without buying the PSS reservoir?
On Icon's site it states:
"For additional heat dissipation this optional upgrade package includes an inline power steering cooler that is mounted in direct air flow through the front grill. This cooler mounts to the core support and is tucked up high so radiator cooling is not compromised. You must have the PSS Power Steering Reservoir for this to work, these work in conjunction with each other"
If this is the case, including the cooler with your Icon/PSS reservoir purchase only increases the price by $50, so your not saving a whole lot buying the Derale cooler and all of the fittings sperately from the Icon reservoir. I know the op is using the RPG reservoir which cost less than the Icon.
So, If I only wanted to add the Derale cooler, without upgrading the stock reservoir could I? Pros/Cons?

Sure you can add just a cooler, I chose to go the fitting route, you can choose the fitting route, or the barbed ends, always being done on hot rods, and street cars for the added cooling. Bigger and better one's are added to the trans, for the off road guys, why not, cheap insurance.

No one is saying it's better ,but then again it is better, because your adding more cooling to what is there, adding more volume of fluid than what is there, knocking out cavitation , all the above to save or add life to the pump, look up power steering upgrades in the search engine.

Has anyone tried installing this setup or comparable to this setup with behind grill 30" and 40"?
Would it still work or I'd have to do away with my 30"?

I know you off-road enough that you need a reservoir to prevent cavitation and air in the plumbing. It seems that most of the problems with power steering are related to turbulence and not overheating. So you could just add a cooler without improving your stock reservoir, but it would be a poor choice.
