i was wondering what the biggest oil cooler anyone one has put on a 400ex is because i just got a massive one from the a/c on a suburban and i want to know if i will be able to make it fit

Go with a tranny cooler from a light duty pickup,cost about $30 from autozone.Looks trick and works fine.Thats what i did:D

you can move your stock cooler down to where it will actually recieve some GOOD air flow and it makes a significant difference !

Did you just put this cooler in the place of the old one and use stock lines or cut into them and add line to the new location.
:confused:

no pics, but move it down on the 2 front frame rails in front of the steering stem, if you have ever seen the 4 stroke tech oil cooler thats where they reccomend mounting it
