Transmission cooler

I recently bought a B&M transmission cooler with the fan and thermostat attached to it. I'm having a little difficulty trying to figure out where to mount it. The original cooler area doesn't look like it's going to be deep enough. Has anyone mounted one of these on their truck? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

I mounted mine in front, just behind the bumper and grill area.. Both of them come off real easy to expose the area for mounting.. You do have to add one support metal bar across the tow bracket supports... see pic's:

Thanks Clintbonnie, I was thinking there wouldn't be enough room in there. I'm assuming I can just put it together backwards since mine is supposed to be set up as a puller fan. thanks for the info!

Seems like the fan would be redundant putting it in front of the stock cooler stack, especially being the first cooler in line.

It's probably somewhat redundant when you're at speed but I when I'm in traffic at 95 degrees, I'd like to have a little extra insurance, besides the fan is thermostatically controlled anyway. I plan on putting a led in the cab so I can monitor it and see how often it comes on.
