Well so far I have only put the 120 idm on and I really like how it has smoothed the engine overall. I grabbed all the ic off the other truck but will have to wait on trying to install it till later.
Now next question.. Lol
I noticed a drop of antifreeze near what I assume is a rust bubble under the paint on top of the radiator. So, I'm going to buy a new radiator but I also have ( not installed yet ) a Electra-Cool remote tyranny cooler ,16 pass tube and fin, 650 cfm fan. Can I or should I buy a radiator that has no cooler in it and bypass that?

It actually helps an automatic to run through the radiator, and then through an after-market cooler. Through the radiator first helps it warm up, because the engine will warm up faster than the transmission. You want some of that heat to transfer into the trans fluid. Run both coolers.

Yeah, the more I researched it, the more I agree with that, especially e4od

Its gunna be a bit before I start digging in. I have to build 8 manure spreaders and a silage wagon. Plus get rid of the 99 and a duchamax. Plus exhaust, cai and a chip in the 97.
Did you ever get around to pulling that e99 Spyder? #stillwaiting
