Well boys, I got my 40k in yesterday. You guys weren't lying about how low tranny temps stay. Before this cooler I had a much smaller LONG cooler. My temps would be around 215 by the time I got home from work. With the 40k, it looks like my temps average around 170 in the city and 145-150 on the freeway.... The freeway temps kind of scare me since it has been 110+ here in vegas the last few days. So in the winter, wont the tranny stay way to low for normal operation?

Are you going directly to the cooler or also through the radiator?

I got my 40k in and my ead kit too. Anyone have any clear pics of that setup mounted? Maybe a pic from the front and above? I heard there's trimming needed for this install. Thanks guys.
