Where do you guys recommend mounting the H.E.? Behind the grille or lower in front of the trans cooler?

The tranny cooler is mounted above and does not interfear with it. Ford has the bumper mounting brackets which allows the H/E to be mounted where you see it in the picture, its the factory location.

If you can get brackets from the L/HD they mount to the same bolts on the frame as the bumper brackets and hold the heat exchanger in the opening of the bumper.

No, you dont move it at all!! The tranny cooler isnt in the way of the H/E. Just leave it where it is and buy the L/HD brackets from ford to mount the H/E in the correct place.
