External Transmission Cooler

[wussyPup]

My 1990 HDJ81 with A442F doesn't have an external transmission cooler. I want to add an external cooler to help protect my freshly rebuilt tranny.

What size are the external transmission coolers fitted to the US market FJ80s?
Where are they typically mounted? (bottom-left?)

I'm thinking of getting a Tru-Cool Max LPD4921; it is 6"x23"x3/4"; 30,000 GVW rating; 34,000 BTU rating; with cold weather bypass valve.
details at TRU-COOL LPD Brochure (large PDF)

I won't need a cold weather bypass here, but may need it at the RMLCA River Shiver.

My truck is currently out of service and parked an hour away, so I can't easily measure the fitment; will a 6"x23"x3/4" cooler fit between the grill and rad?
Does anyone have any experience with the Tru-Cool Max coolers?

All comments, suggestions, and advice welcome.

Thanks, -Steve

The HDJ81 and FZJ80G both will fit the same size 9 inches long and about 5 inches high (16 Row).It'll be mount on the right size below the horns ( U.S Version )

Thanks LX_TREME, I read your earlier post at https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=1269831&postcount=4

103,950 yen for an ATF cooler? That's a bit too extreme for my wallet. Looks very nice though!

If your unit is 9" wide, then I should be able to fit a 23" wide cooler in there.

The US spec 1FZFE trucks have a massive cooler, might be a less expensive way as sourcing a used version should be easy.
