1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

No... We put this on @bergerking truck and my wife's and it doesn't even get to 190 while crawling.. Being that you are way more powerfull than either of those I would want more insurance to keep it cool..

Here is the realestate required.

I used my old trans condensor as a tranny cooler, works awesome except its so big it warms all the air cooling the actual engine since it covers the entire radiator.

That one Steve posted looks like twice the BTUs of the B&M units and is reasonable sized.

Be sure to clean or replace the cooler lines too.

That looks like a good one, similar size to a 6.0L powerstroke cooler and they work great.

That would run into my oil cooler.

I've got a B&M up front with a fan added. Its not a combo unit, didnt much like the couple I tried. My fan is an 8" puller and runs key on. The fan blows right into the radiator, but thinking of putting my steering cooler between the two. Sucker doesnt get any air flow while crawling (hottest time for it)

Oil cooler goes up front

I like my 11"x11" B&M stacked plate cooler. And I wouldn't wheel an auto without a fan on the trans cooler. I have mine setup with a thermal switch so I don't have to think about it. You can be moving quite slow climbing a steep trail which will really heat up the trans and without the fan you'd have very little air flow; just what the radiator fan could pull thru.

Ok. I will say it. Why are we discussing Ben oiling and polishing a tranny. Shouldn't this be in the pig pen?

That was what I was thinking, I like your style sir. Do you have a link or pics to the one you used? Is it in your build thread?

 

[K85 Octane]

Here are mine except the cooler has hose nipples, not threaded fittings.

I also have threaded lines, but I can't remember what thread they are...

I will have to look thru my thread. It was the cooler setup I had in the K5 so I don't remember how much I posted about it for the crew cab.

Here's the post with pictures. It talks about a smaller cooler I tried to run to begin with but wasn't good enough. So it shows the 11x11 mounting and 2 different ways of mounting the fan. https://ck5.com/forums/threads/89-r...tube-doors-or-not.303347/page-22#post-3324125

I have my lines out the bottom, hmmmm. Thanks for the tips!

 

[mrk5]

Yeah, I had no idea either at the time.

 

[Babaganoosh]

As of right now, I have the oil and trans coolers in front of the radiator, once I get around to the vintage air setup, thst will go between them all.

This. On the roof.



I am really not any help tonight.

If ever one of those lands on the truck it will be to feed the supercharger
