Stand alone tranny cooler
I had a spare auxiliary electric fan and some sheet metal laying around and decided I wanted to try to make my tranny cooler have it's own fan. Built the shroud and attached fan and cooler together and attempted to install. WOW it is way bigger than I was thinking and does not fit under the hood. Originally I was planning on it pulling air from engine bay and dumping out through passenger side hood louver. After some deliberation I thought of mounting assembly to roof rack and with the shortening of one bar it will drop safely into the cover of roof rack. I figure with the installation of a snorkel I will have something solid to route electrical and fluid lines to roof. Will the tranny fluid be able to migrate that far uphill to allow cooler to work? Still have some trimming to do on sheet metal possibly but wanted to wait and see how it is going to mount first. My alternative would be to get 2 smaller tranny coolers that utilize the extra space from Taurus electric fan when that conversion is complete but am not ready to complete that mission just yet. Thanks in advance for any help as to location and function of setup.
