What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice! Was out there camping a few years ago. Hellishly hot for tent camping (and some very cold showers) but crazy beautiful. Hope you got some good horse pics

 

pretty straightforward. I kept the OEM cooler also so I needed some extra hose.

user Buc_mac on IG sells the mounting bracket in case anyone is interested. Perfect fit over the OEM cooler.

 

I'm gonna spam this around this morning, if you wanna take a minute for my communications class.

thanks

 

Did you get a flow direction diagram with your cooler? All the ones I've found show it flows inlet on bottom and return on top.

 

Will do.

 

Guess I am a member of a solar forum also

 

actually I thought this cooler was non-directional, but I wasn't certain. Guess I need to look into this more.

 

I did the survey. I would be interested in the overall results. I work in the oil and gas field.

 

Whatcha do?

 

Trippy that Mishi did not include a bracket...hmmm...

 

I spent 15yrs in the field troubleshooting and optimizing nat gas engines and compressors but I now work for Waukesha Engines as the lead remote operations analyst. Basically I remotely monitor nat gas engines and diagnose or predict problems.

 

It might be since its not a "row" cooler or whatever you would call it.

I bought a Hayden which is the row design and it came with zero documentation, but others of the same design had feed at bottom and return at top. I feel like feed should always be at the top so I was second guessing everything, but I finally just installed with feed at the bottom as the diagram shows. Will find out this weekend if temps stay cooler.

 

Oh nice, I'm just a dumb environmental engineer out here, jus tryna get my masters

 

I assumed feed was at the top also. I just reached out to Mishimoto and will report back what they say.

 

I have worked with a lot of great engineers in my years and a couple of absolute idiots who give engineers a bad name! Sadly the couple of idiots generally stand out more than the great ones. Keep in mind that “we” all have to work together to build the future and just cause it looks good on paper doesn’t mean it will work.

 

Found your bracket and some other cool stuff on https://maxarico.com/

 

Mishimoto confirmed that either port can be the inlet or outlet.

 

When the h3ll did fluid changes become so expensive? My usual shop quoted me $600 for both diffs, xfer case, and manual trans. Can't imagine what the dealer charges. A few weeks ago I had a quick lube place quote me $160 for an oil change in my wife's car too. What the actual f? When did that happen? Decided to do them all myself. Fluids for my truck were about $180, fluids for the wife's car were about $60.

I ended up needing 6 and change qts for my diffs and maybe 3.5 quarts for my trans and xfer case. Skid plates weren't as bad as I remember taking them off either.

Got it all done in the Arizona sun too, ha.

 

The desert-does-it seat jackers are a must have imo for 3rd gen users without power seats.

I'm unsure of the benefit if the truck already has the ability to adjust the seat height/angle (like on your 2023 Off-road.)

 

Nice work! Yeah, the skid plate for me is always the biggest time sucker when changing oil. I really think it's worth spending a bid more for a skid with the hatches for oil and filter, like the TRD, RCI, and CBI (in order of price lol)
