I received JK's 72 inch extension harness, and today moved the FSD cooler from my upper intake manifold to the front of my rad. fed the harness thru the psgr side hole where the AC cooler lines come thru. made a bracket out of 1x1 aluminum angle bar. seemed to fit perfect, with no rubbing on the grill. had to keep it tight to the center to avoid the grill mount indent.
i faced the cooler to the back, logic was that the fan is drawing so air will be drawn away from the cooler . also allows me to slide a torx screwdriver thru the grill and make sure the FSD is still mounted tight.
did a test run for an hour, and i think it was much cooler....i could hold my finger on it, it was warm, but not hot like it was on the upper intake. after shutdown it cooled down quicker too. previous FSD failed after 10k on the cooler mounted on the upper intake, so we'll see how long this one lasts out front.
