Here's a diag of the setup.

 

Yup, I have that same diagram, just needed some clarification so thank u!

 

DieselD, was there a difference in temps on your return trip with the relocated cooler?

 

I have no way of telling actual temperatures, BUT the temperature spike on my gauge only happened one time on the way home. That was more than likely my fault. I was passing someone on a pretty steep incline. I also wasn't running the heat to keep it cooler.

All in all waaaaay smoother than the way down there. Made great time too, made it home in 13.5 hrs.

I will probably add a bigger, better cooler next summer, might even skip the regulator in the rad and run temp gauges.

 

Good to know! What size cooler is on it now?

 

I can't remember lol. bigger than stock but not the biggest you can get. It might be about 8x10" its a Hayden cooler.
