Are you running just the stock one in the radiator? the cooler lines came on my 6L and was thinking about getting the radiator that has the engine oil cooler in it.

I was gonna say, are we talking about no cooler at all vs an external or vs a factory radiator one?

I'm planning on getting this cooler adapter pretty soon to run to an external cooler.
http://www.improvedracing.com/cooler...80f-p-209.html

It has a built in thermostat to allow the oil to get to 180 and stay there, rather than continuously flowing through a cooler which can keep it too cold on the highway or winter. I'll be doing a few days of road coarse "cruising" as they call it at Powercruise each year and things heat up fast when you're beating on it on a race track. Also, just another thing to make my engine last that much longer... as long as the fittings and lines don't fail!

Neat little piece. Do you guys use a cooler w -4 or 1/4 fittings or use reducing bushings.

I was thinking of adding one to my truck when I do the turbo was also wondering if a high pressure/high volume pump would be better since my turbo is going to be rear mount?

was looking at the melling 10296 pump

What about from the engine to the cooler to the turbo back to engine? Probobly not enough flow going from -8 to -4 and then through the turbo huh?
