picked up some aluminum flat stock and some stainless fasteners and started by mounting up the fans. I know its overkill, but even with the stock cooler the trans never got really hot unless sitting in traffic. so I added the fans to control temps better when there is no air flow.

<a href="http://s1352.photobucket.com/user/jroctpb/media/ghjhgjghjh_zpsdmqx2bly.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q656/jroctpb/ghjhgjghjh_zpsdmqx2bly.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo ghjhgjghjh_zpsdmqx2bly.jpg"/></a>

the flat sections on either side sit on the frame rails and are fastened to the frame by self tapping stainless screws. Also deburred and radiused all the edges and corners on the brackets.

then I made some brackets for the lower mounts. These attached to the factory splash guard bolts up front.

Mocked it up, placed it to utilize the lower bumper grill since there is no room up top with the heat exchanger. Plus its just wasted space down there.

here is where the lower mounts piggy back off the splash guard mounts. I can wiggle the whole truck back and forth grabbing these and the cooler stays rigid. Pretty good I think considering the whole bracket assembly weighs less then 2 pounds.

assembled some new trans cooler lines using russels -6 hose and fittings. I will be using the factory in rad pre cooler for this.

Got some 5/8 flare to -6 fittings for the rad side cause thats what the trucool install thread said was needed. They did not work for my rad, i dont know if all nnbs trucks are like this but they didnt fit.

purchased a bunch more fittings but none worked so i ended up using 3/8 to -6 compression fittings.

Tested for leaks today and its all good! just have to wire up the fans and then it will be good to go. higher stall speed to come!
