that's true... i was more than pleased with mine. There is a bed going back on it so i wasn't too concerned, however it just seemed stupid to not go ahead and take care of it while it was easily accessible.

be careful putting pressure against those fins...i did something similar when i first tried to install my cooler, cranked the truck up and as soon as it pressured up a stream of tranny fluid came flying at me...just a thought

You definately need some space between the transmission cooler and the condensor. Make some brackets or something for it. Great job so far.

You can't see it in the picture but i used some rubber spacers so they're not rubbing (front or back) and it's got a good 3/4" gap between the two. Is that sufficient?
