didnt we have this discussion a while back <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. btw, its just bad idea waiting to happen to use the tranny cooler for the oil. besides, you should leave it as is for when you get around to upgrading to a autotranny. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

hey it was just a thought and I didn't really think about it just the idea came to me so I posted it... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Now that I do think about it, I agree with you Johnny...

The shower idea rocks, though. I'd think that with a low flow rate/pressure, the water would heat up pretty good in one pass with the truck running. Or you could make a hot fudge dispenser, I suppose.

if not i think it would be easy enough to setup a pump and a valve to either send the heated water through a shower head or recirculate it into a bucket... and then of course you'd want to setup a mixing valve from your cold water source to get just the right temperature since your hot water source will be 180 degrees or so after circulating through a few times <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

One thing you wouldn't want to do is to subject any part of your hot radiator to a repeated shock of cold water input.

I just bought a Radiator from Radiator Barn, and I must say its a nice pice. every thing lined up fine, but the only problem was it had the smaller fill neck, so I had to get a cap for the v6.
