TruCool Installed with pics!!!
Well, I ordered gauges and the TruCool last week and the Tranny cooler came in today so I couldn't wait to install it. 
I really wanted to get the gauges first so I could see the difference.... but I HAD to install it, it was just sitting in the box begging me so....
Very easy to install and good directions. I was reading on here AFTER I installed on how to bolt it to the vertical supports but I think the way I mounted it looks alright. It is very sturdy. What do you think?
Now I need to check the tranny fluid level, add a little and I'm done! One question... I got the Remote External Bypass Remote external thermal bypass: Bulkpart transmission parts ... would you install it or do you have one? I live in New Mexico and don't see too cold of winters, maybe in the 20's. I do sometimes go to CO or Hunting where it gets colder then that. Thanks!

Yes....our tranny's already have the bypass built into them, I discovered that while researching on here before I installed my Napa Ultra cool. I actually RE-installed it today, same location that you put yours, I wasn't quite happy with my temps I had before, hope I get better results now 
Reps coming your way for the pics!

COOL install, And again, pictures are always a good way to share. My install is coming up also.
Did you order this one? http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=205
Confused on this Note: But i don't see the specific kit listed. *Additional Hose and Mounting bolts may be needed for your application. 1999-2003 Ford F250 & F350 owners can purchase our Ford Superduty specific installation kit with special instructions, extra bolts and extra hose specific to your vehicle*

Thanks for the replies!!! I ordered mine from Tru-Cool Heavy Duty transmission cooler: Bulkpart transmission parts and it had everything I needed. Don't know who much it helps the temps cuz I am waiting for my gauges to get here. Oh well...

I don't think so, but it has been awhile. I don't think It would hurt. I haven't had any leaks though.
