FAST COOLERS install question?

[Doughboy21kd]

The question was "Fast Coolers Do They Work"?



Well now that i have them in front of me the question is... . 1st: The bolts that you take out of the PTO covers they are kinda star shaped lookin like a reversed TORX bit, anyone know what size they are?



2nd question: After reading directions( something i normally dont do) they say to put the cooler with the magnetic dipstick and the temp sending port on the right hand side of the truck... . Well what is the right hand side of the truck... Theres 2 right hand sides depending what way you look at the truck... ... THANKS for the info.....



Almost forgot... . Never have had a manual transmission that required the lube ATF+4... just thought i would throw that in there... . THANKS :-laf

the right side is the right side



one should be smaller than the other for driveshaft clearance



i recommend making 4 gaskets

I am not sure what the size of the socket is that is needed but a 12 point socket or wrench will work. They use the same thing on Gas turbines

 

[Doughboy21kd]

They both equal size..... And about the right side thing... . Would it be passenger side or driver side?

 

[mattymac]

Passenger side, The right side like you would be sitting in the drivers seat.

Thank YOU... . Confusing when the directions say RIGHT SIDE... . Well what direction are they looking at it... ...



Do you notice that they helped at all?

I still run warm down the hwy, I dont know how much cooler because I put the temp sensor and fastcoolers in at the same time. I run about 210-220 after a long time pulling 10-11k down the road. But for the manuals and the gear lube for the nv its normal.

Anyone else know this?? The G56 takes ATF +4

On the NV5600 it's important to get the correct cooler on the correct side. I didn't, and as a result I can't remove the dipstick on the driver's side. .



At 60k when I service the transmission again I'll pull off the coolers and swap them.



Although you can make gaskets for them, the RTV provided with the coolers worked fine for me.
