Can you tell a difference in oil temp by running that oil cooler ?

Usually couple hours each way, being 4wd complicates it somewhat, and Ill have to take off part of my exhaust (being 5" its in the way).

Huge difference in temps with the cooler, at least 50-60degrees.

Just a generic B&M cooler, nothing special, 6x10 maybe. No but if you search "ls oil cooler block" or something similar you should be able to find it.

Maybe someone mentioned this, but, is the weight you listed in your specs correct at over 6K lbs? Dang, I would never have believed that. I happened to have a brochure for the 2013 GMC 1500 and sure enough, the weight is listed at 6400-6800 lbs. If you can make this thing perform at that weight, you are a magician....good luck.

My last truck was, 04 silvy 4wd, lifted, 14b, big tires, etc. Weighed right at 6400 with me in it.

I actually had this one on the scales last weekend, without me it weighed right at 4750 with half a tank; about 950 on the back tires and 1400 on the fronts. Im about 250.

The wires are all custom, and the metal clamp sits farther down in the msd ends than the summit ones on 5 and 7, but I assure you its on there.

I found that oil block on ebay last night. Looks like a nice piece. Any pics of the converter? I bet it is a nice piece.
