It looks to be a little on the "small-ish" side of optimum. I guess it all depends on what you'll be calling on it to do.
What's the heaviest you haul?
I'd consider using it on my wife's Honda Pilot (I'm looking around), however, as the specs are pretty-good for that.

Wow Pop, its that small capacity wise?? The specs here had me sold (•Imperial Maxi-Cool® plate and fin transmission cooler
•Size: 3/4" x 11" x 11-5/8"
•Class "A" motor homes, large travel trailers, 5th-wheel trailers
•GVWR up to 30,000 lbs.; towing up to 10,000 lbs.) I tow a loaded TT, about 7500-7700 gross and I figured I'd be in good shape with this one. Is there any other on that page that would interest you for your truck??

Ya' know, Mike, I mis-read the advertisement page. That might just be OK after all, at 30,000 pounds overall.
Looks like it would be kinda over-kill for Mama's Pilot, however....
Thanks for causing me to take a second look!
Edit: Ahhhh, here's why! Here's what I looked at instead. Almost..... but no cigar!

They do have small ones Pop, I'll just check all of them out before I jump, thanks. Snowseeker, My preference is the aluminum and problebly be the best choice but this price is hard to beat. I'll do some more research, I got time, thanks. Anybody else have some recommendations or concerns??

I would get it Mike. Free shipping and 20% off. WOW..cool . You won't beat that price anywhere. Looks like you have to order the extra mounting kit and items to go along with that cooler. I think just the cooler is that price. But you may be able to fab up the mounting and hose arrangement yourself.
I seen napa had a cooler too, but i can not find my bookmark that i had to put up for you.

I would say hold off personally. We are going into winter and you never know, come spring you may find a deal and wish you had waited. Just my .02

I would urge my FTE brothers to be careful of these 6.0 coolers on ebay. There's a history of problems, and just recently a guy mentioned a guy who had 3 of them. I tracked them, and 1 was acceptable, but no glowing feedback and the other 2 were negative, (bad deals). Just a heads up. Just be sure you check out the feedback, real close.

I think I might hold off, only reason is snowseeker made a good point and somebody else made the remark its a steel coils and tubing, not alot of heat transfer if you ask me. Clay, I'll look around but why don't you see if you can get the Tru-cools or equivalent coolers in stock, they're popular around here..Smokie, that cooler is a add on to your stock trans cooler, stacking as they say. Appreciate the info and heads up..
