Instead of cutting up the factory line I found some barb fittings from derale (PN D13035) that fit into the radiator and transmission just like the factory line. That return line is a PITA to get to and splice on the MCSS so Ijust removed it all together. I never liked mounting coolers directly to the condenser so I used some 4" corner braces to put it behind the bumper.

I'm not sure of the temps, I've got no way of reading it. The fan kicks on at 180, off at 170. I wired it to run even with the key off( to lazy to find a "key on" wire) and it only continues to run during the 100*+ days. So I'd guess between 180-190*

I bought a Torq Flo p/n 911516 from Autozone. I got it for $59. I got 3/8 barbed fittings from Home Depot for $5. My temps have never gone above 180* since I installed it.
