Phillip-I have no idea how to post pictures. I just tapped into the transmission line that returns from the stock cooler. I ran 1/2" hose from this line to my aux filter, to the cooler and then to the transmission. I hope this helps. John

If you ride your brakes lots, they will start to get hot, so think ahead.

Actually, if you ride your brakes slightly and keep your speed down, you rotors will stay cooler than if you stay off the brakes and use them in a harder manner to reduce a high speed that you have obtained. An exhaust brake is a good idea on steep grades,
