Because you live in Michigan, you should consider a cooler with a t-stat to prevent over-cooling during the winter.

Welcome to ATI Performance Products.com offers a t-stat for $27.54; I'm sure there are others. "Tru-Cool" coolers supposedly limit fluid flow when cold; I have no idea how well they work during winter.

One tip from past experience: If the kit you buy has nylon posts that go thru the radiator & condenser to mount the cooler, DON'T use them! Mount the cooler with brackets instead.
