Pulled the grille out and started mocking up the mounts for my Tru Cool.
What did you do to your truck today?

Why buy new when you can restore?
Jarrod, what's a "Tru Cool"?
Well, 5yrs and X-thousand miles later isn't bad for $800 (plus maintenance).
Drove the S10 to work and back. Getting really pissed off at it. It randomly decides to have a high idle. When I push the clutch in, it sits at about 1800-2000 and then idles down when I come to a complete stop. Some mornings it pulls itself to school at 30mph, while others it will be just fine. This leads me to think that it isn't a vacuum leak, but I could be wrong. Could it be the TPS ($38 part) or the IAC ($63 part)?

Matt, it's a big ass transmission cooler.
Looks like this, this isn't mine but it gives an idea of how large it is.
JEEBUZ Jarrod! You got something against a nice little stacked plate cooler?

You can always try cleaning the IAC, and it moves freely...
Have you done the throttle body mod?
If it's not a vacuum leak, then it's most likely TPS or IAC like you said...

It is making for a slow install with all of the HEX's up front. I got a good deal on the thing so I jumped at it. Saving $70 is pretty good in my book, anyway I have to remove the factory trans cooler. Re plumb the new Tru Cool and fab brackets up to mount the Tru Cool and the Maggie HEX. A guy on pt has some brackets that he sells for $45 but I figured I need to dust of a few tools and do some playing myself. I have my template made out of 1/4" Poplar and I'll transfer that over to a piece of aluminum when I get home next weekend and cut it out.

Sounds good. Hell, I think I only paid $70 for that Hayden on the 1500. Hell of a little cooler.
Can't wait to see the finished product, man!

Nothing much today. Just took it down the road and filled the tanks for a trip to WV tomorrow.
