Trans cooler install

Post by dragonvan »

I installed a Tru-Cool 4490 from bulkpart.

#12 self drilling screw to secure bracket to upper and lower radiator support. I used 3/4" x 1/16" aluminum angle for the brackets.

For the passenger side bracket I drilled it so it has a hole that lines up with the existing hole for the plastic air dam/shroud support/ps cooler support. I used an expandable well nut in place of the push type fastener that was installed from the factory. I had to cut a slot in the shroud support so that my aluminum piece went down through it (changed after this pic was taken) so that the shroud support was tight against the body to give me clearance on the back side for my e-fan shroud to sit against the radiator.
