i just installed a oil cooler on my 300 tonight i will be able to test it hopefully tomarrow to see how it holds up, i didnt do like the way most of the 300 guys do i used that oil line from the bottom to the top part of the motor just cut that line and brazed a ring around the steel oem part and slipped a hose over and clamped them down. so far it looks great and hope it helps alot its much larger than my old fst cooler, i did have to cut the center piece of the front fender support off that was the only thing i had to cut besides the oil line and also made a custom bracket to keep it off the frame. doing this project only costed me 25$ the hose clamps and cooler all came in the package. Great for the price

Let me see, let me see Please!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to see those pictures of the cooler, I was thinking about putting one on mine 300ex put was afraid the pump would not hold up to the extra lines.

ALso what did you do about the oil how much more did you have to add?

I mean for 25 It's defintly worth it.

I was thinking a automotive transmission cooler a small though and hooking it up.

BUt let's here comments on how well it hooks up and some more detials.

I just order me some scoops from Tinner so that' really help in the cooling process if I choose too.


Whoooooooooohooooooooooo
