Transmission cooler install 3rd gen.

[oxfordethan]

I just installed a tranny cooler on my '99 4runner. I'm in the market for a camper (small one), and figured I'd go ahead and install one to be on the safe side. Anyhows, I searched this site and found a couple of threads on the topic. However,

http://www.yotatech.com/showthread.php?t=76336&highlight=transmission+cooler+install+3rd+gen

has some good step by step instructions and pics. Here's a few pics of my install...I know it's a big cooler...price wasn't that much more for the heavy duty (for towing 10,000 lbs., which i'll never do, but it gets real hot down here in Mississippi.) Oh yeah, I did have to buy some extra hose (red hose) and Golf tees work pretty good for plugging lines once disconnected.

WORD!

Im going to be installing one in my "06" V6 real soon ........... The wife and I had a pop-up camper but then the wife wanted a small hard top so we went with a hard top with tent sides it's a Jayco 19H about maybe 4,200 lbs when loaded. I figure the extra cooler can't hurt ....... I went with the same cooler as you by the way.

Im also going to do the hitch upgrade.
