installed a new cooler:
I put on one of these recently and bypassed the stock cooler in the radiator. This is the one the diesel guys use.
Tru-Cool 4739-1 LPD47391
40,000 GVW rating, 45,000 BTU
The -1 does not include the cold weather bypass. If you live in a cold climate you'll need that bypass or the transmission might run too cold to engage overdrive.
it comes with 3/8" barbed fittings and a length of hose. I needed an additional length of hose to reach all the way around to the front of the condenser. it did not come with the zip-tie kit, which i got at Advance for about $5-6. tip when installing the zip tie in condenser - place it where you want it and measure it and center it and get it straight and mark the locations for the zip ties with a dab of paint or marker. then using a small screwdriver or nail, gently wiggle a generous hole through the condenser fins. then lift out the condenser and slip the zip ties into the holes from the back side.
here's a cheaper price at $132.50 incl free shipping.
