Excellent. But expensive. Not to belabor the point, but you could get the exact same thing out of a junkyard for $10 or so, good as new once you clean it out.

Judging from the appearance, with the exception of the flanges on the sides instead of the top and bottom, it looks exactly like my Explorer cooler. If what he says about the manufacturer being an OEM supplier, it may BE the exact same one, just with different flanges. Its certainly the same dimensions.

I say its perfect, get it, put it on. You might want to verify the hose size. I think we use 5/16's. Even if this is a 3/8's, I have successfully squeezed 5/16's on a 3/8's fitting, just lube it with a drop or two of ATF first, it will go on ok if you work it.

(Remember, if you put it on yourself, to splice it into the RETURN oil line.. the one where fluid flows out of the radiator and back into the tranny. Or you could just forget about the factory 'cooler' in the radiator and just connect the hoses directly. That might be a better idea anyway.)

I run the B&M Supercooler rated @ 19,000GVW, mounted between the condensor and radiator. It's excellent.
