If you do a search you will find lots of info on the tru-cool and the 6.0 cooler. Installation is easy for either one.
Most people have some sort of extra filter. I use a magnefine, some guys use the kit from dieselsite.com Both are good products.

I installed a 6.0 cooler, and have been very happy with it. Very easy job, and it is well worth it. It has been a great help with lowering tranny temps while towing the 5er.

a 6.0l tranny cooler is $82 from autocrafter.com: The Leading Auto Repair Site on the Net
Most discount Ford parts dealers will sell the 31-row cooler for around $300. Definitely worthwhile; kept my tranny down below 150ºF where it used to touch 180ºF on the highway.

I bought my cooler from an online Junk Yard. I finally got the right cooler after about 3 weeks. I guess I shouldnt complain, I got for 100 bucks, But it was a nightmare. If I had to do it over again, I would call Ed Th!nk Parts Guy

I have the tru cool and no complaints. If I was doing it again I would go with the 6.0 cooler and remove the little stock one. That way there is less hoses under the hood going to and fro. I just noticed the line off of the cooler to the tru cool is starting to crack a bit yesterday. Not too happy with that.
