Well I finally got around to installing it.
I got it for $40 at Advanced Auto with all hardware included.
First off, I found the cool line, running out of the radiator and back to the tranny and cut it in half. I found this to be the easiest part of the line to tap into for the cooler install.
Next, I set the cooler on the radiator (leave unattached to radiator to be able to get hoses on later) and attached the first hose and ran it down between the radiator.
Once the hose was fed down under to one of the lines, I attached it and used 2 hose clamps just to be safe, to keep it on the line and from leaking. (Remember to cut off excess hose as you will later need it to run the other line.)
I then used the rest of the hose and clamped it onto the other side of the cut line. It was then run back up to the other side of the cooler.
Attach other side of hose to cooler and well, you're almost there! Don't forget to secure the cooler to the radiator!
Be sure to take Jeep for a test drive up to transmission operating temperature to assure there are no leaks. Replace grill and thats that. Theres your basic loop system cooler.
Now wheres my beer...... :dunno:
