wow, that one looks huge! I know our radiator goes much lower than the picture shows, but it looks like it's half the size of the rad. haha. That's interesting that you attached it to that crossmember there, instead of to the rad itself. I like the idea!

Did you notice any higher engine temps w/ the addition of the tranny cooler directly in front of the rad?

I installed the tranny cooler before ever driving the truck. I bought the truck with a blown tranny and the culprit was the original tranny cooler. It broke, allowing an exchange of fluids between the coolant and the rad fluid. So, no I didn't notice any higher engine temps than before. lol

I like everything to be mounted to their own brackets and not to another item, that's why I made my own brackets.

It's really not that large, it's probably just the angle of the pictures.

It's threw, not through.
Search the site with just the code numbers.
And yes, one problem can. I'd help more, but you just posted in a thread that is 2 years old?!

Update on the towing thing btw, since I'm here....
I have a CAI, 2.25" exhaust but straight through, HUGE transmission cooler, which is BEFORE it runs through the radiator cooler (helps radiator run cooler) and the superchips. I really don't have overheating issues anymore, but I still want a bigger truck. Did the math on the GVWR and I'm really pushing it once I have the whole family in the truck.
