I took a 6.5 t.d. oil cooler and cleaned it out and w/ a little mod, i put it in there. And w/my grille insert that blocks air. It runs cooler while pulling my 7 ton+ trailer. Im very pleased w/this idea and it cost $10 at the junk yard,

I will post pics, Just as soon as i get my digital camera back. But to sum it I had some aftermarket line made that fit the oil cooler and had them tied into the tranny cooler lines (at the rubber hose part). I took them off and retro fitted them w/hydraulic lines and fittings. And fabricated some hangers out of the old body style tranny cooler hangers. Its not a bad looking deal and even looks close to being factory built. Cody
