Message: [QUOTE="Chvyrkr, post: 1153963, member: 169"] Thanks for the write up. Three things to add. One, I didn't disconnect the AC condenser to install the cooler. I was able to ease the drivers side of the condenser out away from the truck and prop it up, then install the cooler/mounting plate. Maybe that's not for everybody, but it made the process simpler than draining/re-servicing, for me. Now, I did bend the lines slightly in the process, but once the kit was installed, I found I needed to bend the lines even slightly more to clear the 90 fitting on the return hose. I have the cold weather thermal bypass and deep cooler so, your mileage may vary... Two, I think installing the mounting plate on the condenser, then the cooler with associated pieces would be easier than installing the cooler on the plate, then the plate to the condenser. Not the way I did it, so I might be missing or forgetting something. Just something I thought about laying in bed, after the fact. Three, and I might have missed it in your write up, but I don't think I saw it. The coolant hose provided by EGR delete kits is going to be approx 1 7/8'' to short, with the BPD kit. I went to my usual hoses and fittings shop in town hoping to have a solid stainless line crimped between two short silicone hoses, one with a 90 degree for the intake, then put it on a pipe bender and make a 180 degree bend. The only individual at my local shop that I think is capable of making me something like this that wouldn't leak though, has quit. The current employee's are too lazy or too ignorant. Forcing the provided delete hose around to connect would have made it rub on the pedestal. So I ended up splicing a piece of silicone hose in with a double male barbed fitting and hose clamps. Not happy with it, but it's not leaking either. I was happy with the dieselsite delete, and thrilled with the BPD cooler kit, just wasn't all that excited to find the kits didn't play well together.
