You need a new transmission specialist, sounds like this guy knows jack s**t.

Maybe common on V8s? Yep Martin, thats the one. Although I think mine is a bit bigger than that. I'll have a look after work.

Funny, I asked Gregory's a few months ago and they said they don't do that.

I think 1600kg packs were the "tongue" and the 2300kg packs were the "box" fitted by Ford. I think ( Option 42 ? ) was a factory fitted oil cooler. Can someone confirm that?

I was quoted $400 fitted for a new taxi spec cooler. It's about as big as the radator, obviosuly desgined for all day every day usage.

You've got aa point there, maybe I should have said "you need to find a honest transmission specialist" surprisingly they are out there.

That would be overkill for the average driver, I bought a standard one from Bursons some years back IIRC price was around $150 for kit, self installed very easy. Standard one is about the size of the air filter.

Anyone got a pic of where a factory fitted one might be?
I got a 5.0L with heavy tow kit so I might have one. I want to know where it is. |
