Unless your planning on towing some heavy stuff I wouldn't bother with it.

well for some reason or another when i got frank he had an after market cooler in the grille. the one in radiator was bypassed i figured it leaked.well the after market plugged and blew a pinhole in the line. got a small one from a neighbor and hooked it up but i am getting ready to swap tranny and tc from donor. i know both are in good cond. and dont want to risk burning up the tranny. this thing looked like it would do a super job.
