I looked at many coolers, but decided to go with the Hayden 679 which I installed this past weekend. It's the best bang for the buck and does the job well. Around town, I appear to be averaging 30 degrees lower than the temps I observed before the cooler was installed. I'm curious to see how my temps are when I tow the 27 foot travel trailer.
I included a picture of the 3/4" aluminum square tubing that I used for support brackets, using stainless hardware to secure it to the existing braces. The other picture shows the final painted brackets with the cooler installed. I had to use two 1 inch slide-on bolt spacers for the top bracket to ensure a flush mount with the bottom bracket. I also drained and flushed the tranny and added some Lube Guard Platinum for added protection.
While I had the bumper off, I upgraded the headlights to Sylvania Silverstar Ultras. Speaking of which, the bumper was not friendly when trying to remove it, but I have it figured out for next time.
