Thats the thread its from. Not sure itll work since its from the mobile app. Ill redo the link once I get to work in 2hrs...
Not the lightning guy but another guy who did the same mod on his 97, i think is what he said he had, said his temps went from 248 at his highest to 187. around town it was 170 to 130. Ill take a 40 degree drop any day. The 248 was when towing and ive never been over 205. I also dont tow anything though.

I usually run 165-170 with 33" all terrians, in 90+ degree florida weather, but I have the cooler. I've seen 195-198 pulling a 22foot enclosed trailer loaded with camping equipment and 2 full size 4 wheelers at 70mph

Heres the link I found on F150online that I tried posting earlier. I really want to try to add this Superduty cooler but I dont think I even have a tranny cooler so I am not sure how the install will go. Also I dont where to get the hoses/connections.
