Added oil coolers to trans and engine. Trans was simple just threaded into fill and drain bolts, oil pan was more difficult. Had to reroute line to secondary pump then to radiator then back to primary pump.
Drove through Sotuh Carolina(so it was kind of imperative that i finish this project.
Outside air temps were over 100 for the better part of an hour and a half on the highway. Temps ranged from 100 in Spartanburg to 105 near Augusta.
Engine bay temps were about 5 degrees above ambient(Wearing the wider than stock front bumper for summer). Engine temps, AIT, and coolant temps were all much cooler than normal. In Tn I run about 185 on a warm day(70-80) on this trip Michelle stayed sub 200 the entire trip, no fan cut on after running down the highway at 3K rpm for an hour and then stopping at a red light. Temp did surge to 205 while stopped but the thermostat now just runs all the pumps faster instead of cutting on the fan.(No radiator fan as its effect on passive highway cooling is detrimental and in TN I highly doubt I'll ever see a day hot enough that city traffic will get me to 210).
