thats what was on mine when i got it. bolts to both the main frame rails and the part whenre the loop is. still have the loop on it too.

pulled a 4 door trooper with no problems. personally i would put a bigger (or a second oil-air) trans cooler on for any kind of distance towing.

You think that thick trans cooler isn't good enough to cool that trans? That thing is pretty beefy, even by aftermarket trans cooler standards.

I have a valley tow hitch in my shopping basket for my one supplier, but I don't want to bolt it onto this montero since I'm buying another one over the weekend. I'm lazy and don't want to bolt it up, then take it off and bolt it to the other one LOL.

95SR a/t locks up in 3rd and 4th, so there's not much if any additional tranny heating. Never had a prob towing the boat in summer with the a/c on in hilly NE GA...

when it comes to cooling an automatic you can never have too much.

just make sure it runs thru the radiator after the oil-air coolers.


for the record i have a trans cooler out of a 6.0 powerstroke on my lincoln because i drag race it so much. i dont remember the exact measurements but its about 30x36"

true. but mostly under light load. when towing its a whole different world. step into it just a bit and it will unlock.


off topic: how does the truck feel power wise hans? im still wondering if my crap rebuild is making the same power a normal SR should be. my only experience is when my GF ran into an SR that tried to beat her off the light. she took it by about 3 lengths to 70. who knows the condition of that truck though.

Huh? Mine won't unless it downshifts or drops below some critical speed near as I can tell...

That Valley hitch looks just like mine from the stealer. How much are they?

made it a point to drive the monty to work today. TC doesnt lock up until in 4th. give it some throttle and it unlocks. give it some more and it drops to 3rd. give it even more and it goes to 2nd as the gas gauge drops.


regarding the hitch...i dont know. came on mine when i bought the truck

My truck feels real strong. I got 19 mpg on the highway on my first tank of 87 octane run through the truck. We were hanging with a SRT8 jeep through traffic LOL. I gave my engine a fresh rebuild. New piston rings, vss, big bore lifters, oil pump, water pump, timing belt and components, and gaskets and seals. I also replaced my trans cooler lines with some aluminum fuel line I had at the shop. Those were just about to explode LOL.

I think I can cruise at 75 mph at around 3k rpms. Truck feels real solid. I still have to do fluid and filter on the trans and check the diffs fluid.

I can get them for about $210, but I'm sure you can find them cheaper at an online store. My distributor has 3 instock.
