Hello Everyone...A friend gave me a "pancake" looking thing the screws up to the oil filter mount. It has an inlet and outlet on it for running hoses to an aftermarket cooler. The oil filter screws up onto the pancake so you have your standard oil cooler and filter on our idi's.
The pancake fits our idi's and I was wondering if I install it and run lines to the tranny oil cooler built into the radiator since I have a zf-5 manual...Would it act as another oil cooler in conjunction with the oil cooler on our trucks?
In other words...would that be a good thing and would it help cool the oil a little more?
Thanks for everyones thoughts, opinions, and general advice as to the pro's and con's. I want to try it, but if others have done this without much success or it just creates problems...I don't want to chance it...
