I'm going to move the stock h/e to the lower bumper and put the larger one infront of the radiator and run them in series. Should help me a lot with towing
Are you installing this in a regular 1/2 ton?
If so please let me know if there is any fitment issues.

Jessie, it is not a "direct" bolt in, there is SOME fabrication required to make it fit.

I guess what I ment, is that I know that it will fit in a HD frame, now will it fit in a 1/2 ton frame?. I know that it is not a direct fitment, but nothing a sawsaw and hammer cant fix, lol

Yeah it's going on a 1/2 ton, it's the truck in my signature. I don't forsee any huge issues ::knock on wood:: but you never know. I've already scoped it out and have a pretty good idea where i'm going to mount everything. I'll take plenty of pictures of the install.

If somethings goes terribly wrong i'll be on a tow bed in front of Magnuson on Monday morning with a case of beer waiting for Brian to show up

This heat exchanger is a BEAST!! I moved up the location of the upper bracket to hold the h/e higher up and expose more of it to incoming air. It also fills up the front better and doesn't look as wierd as when it is located a few inches lower.

The view through the driver side tow hook at the lower h/e. I removed the backing to fit the new h/e and have the barb where i wanted it. It also provides more airflow to the lower h/e. I'm debating cutting up my lower fender to get more airflow, but i want to do it in a concealed way. I have to think about that one more and how/if i'm going to do it

I used thru-bolts to secure the bottom of the h/e to the frame. I orignally used self tapping screws, but with the weight of the h/e full of fluid and vibration using thru bolts was definitely the way to go. Much more secure and a lot less worry

I had to modify the orginal brackerty to fit in the lower fender and angle the way i wanted it to. Made it simiar to the brackets used in the JoeGibbs setup. The bottom h/e is actually mounted and routed the same exact same way as the Gibbs setup except the pump is in the original position, not moved to the lower h/e
