Tru cool installed
I finally installed it yesterday, but it took me about 2 hours due to matching the mounting holes to the up right posts. I cut one of the steel mounting brackets in half and used them on the bottom. I just elongated the top holes to match the 18" center of the posts. Other then that, it was pretty easy. I'll probably redo the hose to hose junction because of the 180 degree bend. Noticed a 15 degree cooler difference on my first drive. I can't wait to see the difference when towing!

A buddy of mine installed his a couple of weeks ago and was towing about 2000 lbs up a 40% grade in eastern washington with the outside temp was about 102 and his tranny never went over 150 degrees. So what ever you tow should not be a problem for you.

??? Typo, right? Forty percent grade is 4' of rise per 10 feet of horizontal distance...or roughly 8' of rise per truck length...you mean 4% right?
