I've kind of been all over my truck for the last week but I've finally gotten something mounted. My Hayden tranny cooler. I didn't like the idea of some the less sturdy mounting options available so I fabbed some brackets out of alum. and bolted it in (with metric hardware). I cant plumb it yet as my tranny is on the ground. I used two of the factory bolts and had to drill two holes as well. I moved my horn over next to the other one as it was in the way.[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

 

Nice work. I am about to do this same thing to my 01 so I can use it to tow!

Great fab work BTW

 

The way you have it mounted is far from ideal. With both the input and output on the bottom the fluid will hardly fill the cooler and will stay mostly at the very bottom. Rotating it 90 degrees either way (or 180) would help. Looks good though!

 

That position will be ok for a Hayden cooler, they don't have a bypass feature at the input/output like the Tru-cool coolers. The pressure should force the ATF through the whole cooler. But I agree, if you have a cooler with a bypass feature the sideways mounting makes the most sense to me. That way gravity will help pull the ATF through the small passage ways of the cooler (if you put the input at the top).
