Hard pipe the coolant to the back of the truck and mount a radiator/fan setup under the bed... All the world you'd need in the grille trophy trucks do it every day except in the bed, not under it lol

I actually considered this on a build at one point. Air flow would be no problem with a little scoop and some fans under the bed.

Interesting idea about under the bed, but I dont think I have enough room for that under there...

Im going to get a stock replacement for now and just keep running what im doing.

If I move the turbo I might go to a fancy air to water intercooler which means I could move the radiator much further forward...and so it starts to spiral

Yea what I mean is if I did move my turbo, I would have to get a different size radiator which means I may have to move the A2A intercooler and if I was going to do that why not upgrade to an A2W and so on...

I'm planning on re-plumbing all my heat exchangers to the bed eventually. Mine's already a race truck...but I wasn't a dumb dumb like some people and kept my power steering!!
