Frank-

Truck already has an engine oil cooler, but it is not one that is cooled through a radiator like you might expect. It is plumbed through the coolant hoses and is cooled that way. If you ever get your truck up on a rack, follow the lines from your oil filter and you will see. If you want to know more, search the f150 message board as the cooler set up is the same on the regular f150's as long as they have the 5.4L.

I did add a second and much larger tranny cooler that I plumbed in in series with the existing small one. Was fairly easy to do.

Also added a couple of auxillary fans which help alot while sitting in the staging lanes on a hot Texas afternoon.

Hope that helps...Alex
