I have searched the threads and need a couple of questions answered:
It looks like the aux cooler needs to be in line after it comes out of the radiator. I also read that if you mount it to the a/c condenser with those zip ties, it heats up the fluid more than it is cooled. If you don't mount it to the condenser, you want get much help when idling or moving slow, pulling air over the cooler. So, those of you with them mounted, what works best for you? I'd like to mount one close enough to the condenser to let the engine fan help. Should I mount it directly next to it or stand it off with some spacers maybe an inch or so? My F-150 has one as part of the tow package and it is about 3 inches off the condenser, and my extra cooler cooler is way out front with the ram air effect, but no help from the engine fan. Thoughts?
