Tru Cool Up, Down, or Sideways.

Just curious how everyone has mounted their coolers. Does it make any difference? Fittings down seems like it would take less hose. Does gravity have any effect on it?

P.S. Just became a supporter. Thanks for all the info. This site has saved me many dollars and cost me even more but my truck is all the better for it.

Fittings down seems to allow for easier installation. I used the instructions included with the cooler, I got from Dieselsite (with a few mods of my own). Ears on the cooler line up pretty well with the upright bars behind the grill on the '99 up models.
