I spent a small fortune on the oil cooler and stainless lines, and it is now sitting on a shelf in the garage. Also experienced a drop in oil pressure, but I'd round up to a full 10 PSI down. The oil cooler was 9x15 and I had two large B&M stack coolers for the trans and the A/C condenser the fan was having to pull through. I was having problems with cooling, and on a hunch I removed the engine oil cooler and one of the trans coolers. The additional air flow through the radiator dropped engine temps from 195 down to 180 thermostat in the hot summer months. I'd rather not even think about the low oil temps during the winter months with the cooler.
