true.. it is way different.
it is big, about 3/4 of main radiator. But I just don't understand why they put in that high thermostat... I can't even find a part # in the part number catalog on the stock one!

the manual say OD start to work when temp is more than 50 F.

then my trans never go much more than 150 F when
The only downside I see is if you make a lot of short trips where the fluid would not get hot enough, long enough to burn off accumulated condensation.
I would block the thermostat on the Trans. cooler open, and if you are really worried about it block part of the Trans. cooler, with a piece of cardboard, in the Winter to let the fluid get hotter.

maybe the best idea so far..
I have found this table in the manual telling me that "normal" or best temperature is 40 - 240 F.
the table say normal operation all the way up to 240 F... I guess that's why we use ATF +4 oil..
I will probably block that sensor anyway. cause then normal driving give me about 60-160 F.
and I wont worry about overheating when towing....

Buggsy, the LPG kit is popular here in europe. there is a LPG-ecu that "cut" the power to gas injectors and power LPG/prophane injectors. then the lpg-ecu use the timing on the gas injectors to adjust LPG-injectors. this work werry vell. shifting from gas to LPG when driving and I almost don't feel a thig on the car.
see http://www.lpg-vehicles.co.uk/lpg_co...conversion.htm
this tell you more about it.
It's not very common in the US except on fleet vehicles. I haven't heard of fuel injected pickups running on propane. Unfortunately, it doesn't look cost effective. Right now, propane + road tax is only $1 less a gallon than gasoline.
