I am installing a 13-row oil oil cooler on my '77 1500. Since I have
an auxiliary electric fan mounted to the front of the radiator, I will
mount the cooler farther forward to just behind the grill. In the
summer (I live near Atlanta, GA) was planning on using Castrol GTX
20w50 oil like I always do. In the winter, however, I am considering
using a lower viscosity oil like 10w30 or 10w40 instead to keep the
oil from taking forever to warm up. Since the cooler is going to be
mounted so far forward, I can't use a cover on it, or it will block
too much airflow from getting to the radiator.
Has anyone else run into something like this. Any suggestions?
