The factory insulation was just placed between the inner and outer aluminum. It is very easy to remove once you drill out 1,456,231.5 rivets holding all of the inner...

    M1008 external trans cooler

    From the Hayden Web page: Should the cooler be installed before or after the radiator? Answer: We recommend installing the auxiliary cooler after the radiator to return the coolest fluid directly to the transmission. Installing the cooler before the radiator will still provide additional...

    Thoughts on modifying an original truck

    I too have been caught up with this dilemma. Modify or keep stock? To solve this mental struggle, I got 2 trucks. One modified and the other as stock as possible.
