Could you guys share some dimensions on how large you went on the coolers? Depth? How large can you go without clearance problems? How much of an increase in fluid capacity you gained? How much of a temperature drop you saw? Do the any of the units have a temperature by-pass so that you don't run the oil too cool to remove water condensation?
Thanks
Thanks

sakataj, the cooler will connect to the stock trans oil cooler line. It's the two rubber hoses going into the bottom of the radiator. Just unhook those and run a new hose to the cooler. Or some people run a new cooler in line with the stock one to get double cooling.
Oh and did someone say transmission cooler(s)?![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Has anyone thought about pulling on from a wrecked Tundra or better yet a lexus GX or LX? The tundra is about 6x10 inches, and the Lexus's are almost twice that. Just a thought of keeping it in the family...
