I have one in the works, Im came out of an old Toyota radiator, IIRC it has 5 rows and around 1.5' long and about 2"square. Im planning on mounting mine under the winch on the FJ40.
I can get a pic if you wish.
Good luck

I have a Tru-Cool for the tranny and an identical unit for the power steering. It is a stacked plate design. It is the second largest and added nearly a quart of fluid. I mounted it on the outside if the radiator on my 4Runner. It's about 10x8...yes, overkill. I've seen Ford Super Duty coolers used and they seem to work well, probably 5 or 6 rows 8x4.

i beleive mine is also a tranny cooler, mounted in the grill, i also run a ram on the cruza so i opted for the tranny one.

I'm running one off an old Grand Wagoneer, it's 3 rows, about 18" long, and it's mounted under the radiator.

Tranny cooler, mounted to radiator, right next to my real tranny cooler.
I use a tranny cooler for the steering on the toyota (hydro assist).
However for the buggy (full hydro) I got this.....
I'm leaning to this one also. I'm glad to see that one of you are running one.
Thanks

How well does it work? I was thinking about getting the same thing, but from Derale - like this:

I carry them, but for less, and it looks like a really clean solution.

Anyone know some definitive specs on PS fluid? Like when it is getting too hot? Mine seems to run fine, though if I'm working it really hard I get a bit of fluid foaming? out the top of my canned ham reservoir. A PS cooler would probably be a good idea... I'll have to measure the temps of my fluid for comparison.
Looks like about the same thing, only $8 cheaper.
I think they look nice, but I'm not sure that it has the fluid volume of a tranny cooler. But I sure that it will work fine.
Guys... Dan's buggy isn't together yet
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH.... but it is getting close.
Ram is mounted, oribital is mounted with the steering wheel..... just have to mount the radiator now.

But do they work as good as they say they do? I haven't bought it because I've been afraid they don't work as good as they look. ...and I'm lazy

But it looks good and costs more.... So it HAS to be better.

I ran a tranny cooler for the PS on the freak and it solved serious heat issues (previously melted two pumps). I'm gonna run the same thing on the Green...if I can figure out where to put it (no room...electric fans on the front and rear of the mepco radiator)
