A. Remove the air dam from the lower radiator
core support.
B. Loosely attach the supplied water cooler brackets
to the cooler using the supplied 1/4” hardware
(see Fig. 6-b). Following the photo, position the
cooler on the core support as far towards the pas-
senger side as possible. Using the mounted cooler
brackets as a guide, mark the position on the
lower radiator core support where the bracket
mounting holes must be drilled (see Fig. 6-a). Drill
the four mounting holes and attach the cooler
assembly to the core support with #12 hardware.
C. Notch the air dam to allow clearance for the cooler
mounting brackets and reinstall.
D. Route the previously attached 50” section of hose
extending downward from the lower 90° fitting on
the water tank to the inlet of the water pump.
Secure hose with nylon ratchet clamps.
E. Secure the hoses to the chassis with provided tie
wraps.
F. Cut a piece of the 3/4” hose 42” in length and
attach to the outlet fitting of the water cooler.
Connect hose to the inlet fitting on the aftercooler.
The line should run parallel with the return line.
Trim the ends appropriately and secure both with
nylon ratchet clamps.
G. Following Figs. 6-b and 6-c, attach the supplied
rubber 90° hose bend to the water cooler inlet.
Slide the water pump bracket onto the water pump
and position the outlet of the pump in line with the
90° hose bend. Using the bracket as a guide, mark
and drill holes in core support and attach with the
supplied hardware. Trim the 90° hose if necessary,
and secure with nylon ratchet clamps.
NOTE: Hoses must not be kinked or restricted.
Route away from moving parts and direct
engine heat.
