Just a update on the this, we towed to Myrtle Beach last weekend 90+ degrees, Trans was 20-30 degrees cooler and even in traffic when the TC isnt locked it stayed below 190 and I could turn the fan on and watch the temp drop, If you tow this is a very good upgrade, I feel alot better about my...
I did something similar with mine, I lined the floor with 4 mil plastic then poured 2 part foam in let it set hard, cut it off flat then added 2 inches of softer foam on top the wife made a slip on cover with Upolstery fabric, Max loves it for trips, its soft but has good support
Took Brutus out today and the trans is 40+ degrees cooler, it used to match the engine temp after 15-20 minutes, now its barley above 140 degrees and thats without the fan I am really happy, I never thought it would make this big of difference, I put the heat gun on the new cooler in the...
The ATT turbo has been proven as a real good dependable set up, so far the CKO40II's have been doing real well ether way you will have a hard time keeping the smile off you face when you step on it and when you pull up to the Diesel pump

Mounting them upside down is not the best way to go Its actually the same cooler as the factory one just with 1/2 NPT, Im sure thats alot of the problem they dont recommend mounting them that way either
Yes I did thats the fitting in the vice, there is a solid steel line that runs to the top...
The last trip to the mountains My 4L80E was running a little hotter than I like, I have been wanting to get rid of the OEM rubber lines for some time so It was time to fix it up, Building the mount was quite time consuming and took alot of fitting, welding and Head scratching so I didnt document...
The HX35 Is defiantly an upgrade over the stock GM Turbo and as long as you don't tow heavy too much it is a great Upgrade, The HX40II is a Better suited size for the 6.5 and really wakes it up, I see you have 4" exhaust which is good but you will need a good tune, I use a Heath Tune and it...
But thats my point, I put a Racor 230r on my truck 6an lines and a Walbro lift pump there is nothing you can do to a Stock type lift pump/FFM to even come close to that setup
