I decided to go ahead and install my Derale Hyper-Cool aux trans cooler this past weekend. I got it back in the beginning of the year when I did my 47re swap, but never got around to installing because the factory cooler works pretty good. Anyway, I figured since it was just sitting in the garage, why not. Here is how I went about it.
This pic shows fabbing a bracket on to the rear skid plate cross member using scrap material, compliments of my buddy and cf member muffinman944 :thumbsup:
And another view
Installed and ready for cooler
Cooler mounted
Lines tied into factory lines
Lines secured
Lines attached to cooler
Another view, it is mounted at a 50* angle for maximum clearance and air flow, the fan is setup to pull.
This is setup so that the hot line from the trans goes to the factory cooler up front, then to the aux cooler in the back and then to the trans. I have not even wired the fan up and I have already noticed an average of 20* F drop in overall temp.
I hope this info helps anyone considering installing an aux trans cooler! :thumbsup:
