Hey CompD,

Truck is a 96 2500 with 47re

Long story short my factory transmission cooler/heat exchanger broke/leaked.

I replaced it with 2 Derale coolers without fans. I mounted them on the A/C condenser up front of everything grille wise. On the highway it stays nice and cool, however in traffic it can heat up pretty quick.

So now I want to add fans, but I'll have to move the coolers since they won't fit behind the grill with the fan. Where is everyone running their aftermarket coolers? I go 4 wheeling with my truck so it will get abused if it's super exposed. I was going to run it under the bed, but would mud/sand/dirt keep it from staying cool? I'm figuring to just run it in the bed and try not to smack it with my dirtbike when I load up. Just wondering if anyone has a better solution than what I'm thinking of.
 
In the bed if it doesn't bother you taking up space. Mine is under the bed at the most forward point and works fine but I don't do any off roading

Do some searching there is several threads on this subject. If I can find mine I'll dig it up.
