    Yeah, don’t skimp if you have any kind of investment in the trans and make decent power. That cooler is a very nice setup. Installed several on tow pig diesels now. They are worth it! As crazy as that may seem.

    Buy once cry once is a cliche motto, but man is it true. This is like my 6th trans cooler setup.

    There are tons of good brands, id probably stick to either derale or setrab for off the shelf stuff. I think Ron Davis makes trans coolers too, but they can make whatever you can think up, and their pricing reflects that. My rad was like 2k from them iirc.

    I can cut some pretty good deals on Koyo. That’s what we have on the wife’s for trans and steering. Pretty solid coolers for the money. Also deal with SPAL.

    Scangauge 3 are on sale right now, thinking about picking one up. Anyone have any feedback? Seems pretty bulky compared to the scangauge 2

    Running the 2 for a long time works great and is small doesn't take up much room.

    Who, if anyone; has installed a Jaz Jeepspeed fuel cell where our factory spare tire goes? Currently running dual spares horizontally in the bed as far back as possible, trying to keep as much weight in the rear.

    The Silverado mount setup looks perfect, maybe some minor drilling and/or frame reinforcement. I’m just wondering about the rails width being too far apart compared to our trucks and needing to build an adaptor bracket or something to make it work.

    Have the 3 in two vehicles. I love how much you can monitor with a single glance.

    Derale coolers, one for engine oil and the other for tranny fluid. I have the sandwich plate for the oil cooler that slips in between the oil filter. I'm too paranoid that some jackass or tweaker will steal/sabotage them in my bed and since this is my part time daily I just kept them in a push/pull setup and it works beautifully.

    living in AZ, half the time I flip them on just to help cooldown the AC system in stop and go traffic since they pull an insane amount of air each. Even with my truck sound deadened I can hear them wind up.

    I have a muffler on my truck, but I’m thinking about cutting it out. I don’t like how my truck sounds.

    Wish I could remove mufflers to make it sound better. Im having to do the opposite. Long tubes + mbrp on v6 sounds like shit

    Long tubes, factory mids, mark3 exhaust + vibrant ultra quiet resonator before muffler was the magic that worked for me. Lt with with mid cats deleted and no vibrant res was way too loud, and smelled like rotten eggs

    I cant imagine the secondaries removed at this point. I was excited to get an equal length y pipe but that would require even more money spent on muffling
