Ya I would like my upgrades to be a little more planned out, but at least the road debris got my insurance to pay for my radiator upgrade and oil cooler lines.

yeah true coulda been worse.... the oil cooler is strictly preventative, and prep for future upgrades.... you probably should have put a big auxillary trans cooler while the grille was off.... but oh well

I have a brand new 24,000 GVW long tru-cool on there along with my stock one. It was a week old before the damage and I had to replace it cause it got damaged.

They work great! I haven't noticed any temp drop, but I am still using a stock temp thermostat. I have never had any problems with overheating though. The thermostat just plops itself close to 210 and stays there no matter what the temp outside is.
It's probably overkill but I figured what the hell since I needed a new radiator anyway and got one with the oil line hook ups in it I would see if I could add the lines. I figure the extra cooling and oil capacity has to be worth something.
