I have since called Hayden in Texas and was connected to a product specialist. Very helpful guy. The 1240 cooler is designed to handle 11,000-16,000 BTU. So it is very capable.
I asked him about the need for a thermostat and he wanted to know where I'm located. I'm in N. CA. He suggested it. Hayden sells an oil thermostat PN163 with 3/8" female NPT. I found it on Summit Racing along with other thermostats from Derale. Costs range $50-$70. I will get a thermostat to help with warm up in driving local trips which tend to be shorter distances.
Hope this helps others.... |
I know this is a old thread but would like to hear how things are.
I'm thinking about adding a cooler to mine. Just for no other reason but because I can!
So how is the truck doing and how are the oil temp compared to before?

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!
LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
