Anyone Make Brackets To Mount Transmission Cooler Without Useing Ties
Want to mount extra transmission cooler without running ties thru radatior would like to have brackets of some kind to mount soild any ideals does gregg evans have any such cooler and does greggs coolers have enough volume to offer a lot of extra cooling thanks for any suggestions.
I don't think that I have a picture, but I mounted mine directly to the radiator support bracket at the top. I don't even think I had to drill any holes. I'll get a picture and post it when I get home.

those pics are Speedin Bob's.
I actually did mine a little differently.
I think I used at least one existing hole in the factory radiator support.
I'm not certain, I MAY have had to drill one hole. It's possible that both holes were already there and just happened to be perfectly spaced, and it's possible that I had to drill both, but I really can't remember.
anyway, here's the pics. I didn't use a bracket on the bottom, with it mounted in this manner, it seems very solid, no problems so far.
this is the Factory Tech cooler kit, IMO, a good kit complete with all necessary parts (cooler, fittings, hoses, etc.) and instructions and seems to be a durable cooler design and includes braided stainless hoses. I don't have a tranny temp guage, so I can't give any info proving any temp drop, but I know it helps. I think I got it from Sal@PSP or possibly Tim@Chikenears.
either way, it fit like it was born there.
hope this helps.

tlf,
Thanks for the compliment.
The only thing I needed were some stainless washers in using the existing holes.
Daily driven 03 HD. The temp never went above 190 in stop and go traffic. Temps in the mid 70's to mid 80's the temp is around 165 on the highway verified via AutoTap. A useful tool.
