I mounted a custom intercooler below the bumper,went with a double pass aluminum radiator and mounted 2 big B&M supercoolers where the original intercooler was.100+ degree temps don't have much effect on my truck.

B&M trans cooler, still going through the radiator. Cut and re-arranged the stock hard lines. Flipped the Radix heat exhanger bracket around to be the lower mounting bracket, and fabricated the upper from some aluminum angle stock from the hardware store.


I moved the heat exchanger 'down stairs'


Electic fans on the Radix heat exchanger a big plus over the stock setup. The heat exchanger coolant will cool down a lot faster with them, especially when you are stopped at the light.

Biggest B & M that Summit racing carried.

No adverse effects from blocking the radiator far as I could tell.

Really can't tell difference in the trans temp. but figured it had to help..
