Default Trans cooler mounting

ihow do you remount the factory trans cooler when you mount the intercooler? I know I've seen a thread that mentions what to do but I can't find it and I've searched. For the moment I'm not planning to switch to a different cooler yet. Any help is appreciated thanks!

Depending on how legit you want to be you can just cut the metal lines a few inches from the cooler and run rubber lines to behind the intercooler with the trans cooler on new brackets or get compression fittings to AN adpters and do AN lines

Mine is mounted horizontally between the frame rails, I build a "shroud" that scoops air from the holes in the bumper cap and directs it through the cooler, I also have a fan on it that's tied into the E-fans. I didn't have room to mount it in front of the rad with A/C and a 4" core

Can you post part number for the cooler?

Did you notice temp difference by moving the trans cooler away from the IC radiator?

How safe is it for off-road 4x4 truck to have the cooler under the bed?

B&M 70298

I dont have any before or after. Installed it there with the turbo kit. Didn't want the intercooler, trans, cooler, and radiator all stacked up like that.

The cooler is up by the frame rails. But I couldn't tell you if it's safe for off road

Where did you mount the cooler? I would like to keep the spare tire.
