Rudy, did they install on lower radiator line? Was thinking about this last night. Sven was installed there. This would allow to control radiator outlet temp. If it was placed after the transmission cooler it would also try to control the temperature including added BTUs from the retarder when in use. This would reduce the radiator saturated temperature during heavy retarder use. I have yet to experience "engine" water temps climb do to retarder use, however I have never used at near max GCWR and I plan to in the future In the Sierra Mountains. In writing this I see no downside too it being downstream of the transmission cooler before it enters the engine for cooling.
