It already has one in behind the oil filters. It is cooled by the engine water. This is a good place for a road going truck as it ensures the oil remains at its operating temperature and wont get too cold in winter.

Comp truck engine is a different story.

sorry i should have rephrased that.. when i said oil cooler i meant front mount cooler... mine is a comp truck setup.. while i have motor out was just considering other options while everything is easy to work on. :)

well i've got one fitted to my turbo td42, mostly cause it came with the engine.
It still gets hot under load and all that kind of stuff but i could only imagine it'd help in some way keep the oil at a cooler temperature?
Any oil cooler guru's got a better answer than that dribble?
Honey i cut the car in half!
