Derale trans cooler mount - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ghost's68 · 06-19-2018, 01:57 PM

I’m at a crossroad and I can not figure where to mount this thing. I opted for the 40 row cooler with built in fan, based on the techs recommendations. I would hate to mount this thing in the bed as I would like for it to be out of the way and not so out there.

Does anyone have any pics of how they mounted theirs? I need some recommendations or ideas.

Thanks guys

Mount it under the bed. Should be fine as long as you aren't hot lapping it on 100+ degree days. Give it a little bit of room off the back side so its not butted right up to the bed.

Mine is in between the front frame horns, behind the bumper, facing down to the road.

I'll look for a pic. But its next to the radiator, has a hole that was cut to let air in.

Update...

Due to the size of this 40row cooler I wasn’t able to put it anywhere under the bed and I really didn’t want to run it up by the radiator so I had my buddy who is a fabricator come over and we came up with these brackets that were needed. I went with right under the passenger side of the cab. Mounted to the outside of the frame and tucked in nicely. Running the lines through frame via bulk head. Super happy how it came out.
