I upgraded trans coolers per my trans guy’s suggestion. I snagged one off a Ford Excursion at work for free and it actually doesn’t leak. Score:headbang:

It may be held in there with zip ties and self tappers. But it’s not gonna fall out and that’s good enough for me. I did have to sacrifice my AC condenser to make room for the cooler, but the AC didn’t work to begin with and I’d need a new condenser anyway.
You could have soldered some smaller tubing into the larger line on the A/C condenser, flushed it, and used it as a super big trans cooler. I did that on my Jaguar, and the transmission survives racing conditions.

It’s been awhile again lol. I’ve been driving the truck everyday with no issues at all....besides the ones I create by messing with stuff, but that’s not the truck’s fault so that doesn’t count lol.

I did replace the water pump awhile back, truck started over heating and I couldn’t get it to stay cool for anything. And put in a 180 thermostat.

After that I FINALLY replaced the nigh on 30 year old speakers with some Polk component units:

Next up for audio is a new head-unit with Bluetooth and maaaaaaybe a small sub, just to help out with the bass a little.

I’ve been mulling over the idea of a 2 inch drop in the back and I’ve finally decided to go for it. This week I’ll be ordering the Beltech lowering shackles from Summit, hopefully I can get them in time so I can install them before a cruise night this Friday.

Making good progress. Those shackles will make that truck look a lot better. Any plans to eventually go lower?

Not currently no. I’d like to maintain some utility with this truck while still looking good. If I ever do go lower it’ll most likely happen on a different project truck lol.

That's fair. You can go lower and still get utility out of it depending on what it would be used for. I've got friends with lowered /bagged trucks that still haul their race cars and trailers around.
