Warp,
How did you route the fuel lines for the fuel cooler?
If you look just above the fuel cooler you can see the 3/8" fuel hose lines going under the top piece of metal that the hood latch is mounted to. I put extra hose around the fuel hoses where the go under the metal so they would not get damaged by sharp edges or vibration. I connected one hose to the return like block where the rail, CP3 and Injector return all come together. Then using barbed fittings, I connected the other hose to the existing return line going back to the tank.
I differ in my observations from what GDE states in their tests towing up a mountain, basically a lab test on the road that is attempting to simulate the real world based upon their assumptions.
I have had my fuel rate from my ECM cut back when I was stuck in a long hot traffic jam on a hot day in the Chicago area. My trans temp gauge went higher than it ever did towing and my AC performance dropped as well. After the fuel cooler, I did not have the problem in hot weather traffic jams. 95F to 100f at the big airport in the shade with concrete and grass all around is lots cooler than a big city traffic jam on black top where the temp the car sees can be over 130F plus. Add to that all the heat from the cars and trucks in the jam up turning all the fuel energy into heat instead of forward motion.
With the 11 blade fan and Hayden severe duty fan clutch, it stays cool and the AC works well.
