For everyone wanting to know....
5PM Friday, Bushwacker called the flare contest a draw. This is why I stopped bothering y'all and said to stop voting. They said that Trent (JK) and I had both shown enough motivation to both be winners. So I won....and so did he... :-)

This might be more information than instruction related but might be a good starting point.

What is everyone's thoughts on cooling the trans here in MD? Use the radiator first and then the cooler, or just use the cooler and avoid the radiator since the radiator is keeping the fluid at 195 and I'm trying to keep the trans fluid less than 175. The instructions that came with our B&M cooler recommended using it in-line with the factory cooler so that's most likely what I will do unless I find a reason not to.

Im enjoying it...out of class early and only half a day of work.
Thanks. I'm going to have to mount mine in front of the radiator. I remember someone mounting theirs vertically to the braces in front of the condensor and radiator so that they didn't have to use those zip ties. I've had the cooler for a while just never got around to installing it.
Get your drive line all sorted out?

Also, cooling the trans fluid more will help keep the engine coolant temp down since they're intertwined through the radiator.

I found a link where a guy installed his vertically and it's not bad but 3" of the cooler is hidden. I did like that he mounted it in front of the mechanical fan though.

I think I'd rather mount it like this but I am wondering what he used for spacers

We live in a climate that has both hot and cold so I was leaning to what they were saying instead of bypassing the radiator all together like you would if you lived in TX or AZ.
