    OK, HOW do you install the Cooling Mod

    I understand (from somewhat reliable resources... told they were drinking at the time) that the Cooling Mod for the rear cylinders can be installed without removing the tranny or moving the engine.
    Is this really so?
    If so, can we/me get the details?
    I'd like to do this and the tranny removal thing was stopping me for now....

    I'm betting it helps to remove the wiper assembly/cowl piece to give more working room between the engine and firewall.

    It is much easier with the tranny and or engine out. WIth the cowl out and the EGR system removed you may be able to get it if you can lay on the engine. I doubt it though. I will try to get pictures before I put the cowl back in with the Mod installed, but it won't be til after the weekend.

    Come on Dennis, dont you want to sell some of these?
    Although it can be done without removing anything, I prefer to remove the upper and lower intake.
    I knock the plugs out from the bottom, than install everything from the top.
    the intake removed makes it a breeze.
    The Upper and lower intake can be removed as a unit.

    Zack to each his own on a lift the trans is out in 35 min and access to both heads is a breeze, so to me that is why I said with the trans out this is what I do.

    But Dennis... getting the Transmission out isn't exactly a walk in the park.... especially for us do-it-yourself guys that do not have access to a lift.

    Is it the better way.... yes.

    Has this been proven to be any benifit, other than piece of mind?

    A BIG problem for me with removing the tranny, is then, since it's out, I'd have to get it rebuilt, add a TC, put a deep pan on it.... If I don't pull the tranny, I'd just do the cooling mod.
    Knowing the way to do it without removing the trans will save me thousands!

    There's a real helpful white paper from Jerry W. about the cooling system, overheating, and the basis for this mod. A link for that is right ^ there in post #6.

    What kind of proof are you looking for?
