How much louder is the new horn over stock? I've always wanted a hornblaster

[GregDAP]

Its not a whole lot louder... I mean its better than stock for sure. It will do

The rubber hoses go straight to the hard lines instead of the hard lines going to the radiator?

No, not exactly. I tapped into the passenger side radiator connection so the fluid runs from the tranny to the aftermarket cooler first, then thru the radiator cooler, then back to the tranny...

I pretty much followed this "How To" step by step except i used a smaller cooler
How-To: Install a Transmission Cooler




Don't pay any attention to the dripping fluid... left over from when i took it apart, LOL

No leaks... so far

[jesse2005]

Thanks, some how I missed that thread and I looked.

I already have the cooler, just need to get the fittings now.

[GregDAP]

Only fitting I had to buy was this...

Hayden Transmission Line Adapter Fittings 397 - SummitRacing.com


I also needed some extra hose line...
Hayden Transmission Cooler Hoses 105 - SummitRacing.com


... can I get some peter kisses now...

[jesse2005]

Awesome, looks like I only need the fitting and some new plastic mounting clips for the radiator.

Ivan, give him peter kisses now.

So is there a formal way to introduce ourselves? Just registered here on 355Nation.

Stationed at 32nd St Naval Station. Been in San Diego on and off over the last 19 years.

Starting to mod my truck little by little now that it's fully and completely out of any kind of warranty. I bought my ZQ8 new in April of 2005. About to roll over 90K miles and I want it to last 3 or 4 time that! Putting a Supermodulation PTB and supersparkz in this week. Going to start working on upgrading the transmission and adding an E-fan soon.

I've been surfing through all of the different 355 forums for the last few weeks looking for all of the easy mods and figuring out what I need to start looking out for.

Hope to contribute where I can!
