Appreciate the write up. I added a cooler a Dodge pickup about 10 years ago, but the pictures and the details made it easier to make the cut of no return (the tranny return line).
Made sure everything was in place and perfect before I did the deed.
Now me and my jeep are even cooler than before

Does anyone know........
Great write-up. I'm planning to install the B&M 70268 cooler, and would like to know if anyone knows, if the bypass feature requires a specific inlet?
On the box it shows the top/left nipple as the bypass inlet, and since everyone is using the bottom/right as the inlet from the existing cooler, will the bypass feature still function?
As I live in a climate where -40 is not uncommon, that with a 60mph driving speed equals a potential frozen coolant line if the bypass is not in operation.
If the bypass works in either direction, then no problem, but I sure would like to know for sure.

i want to revisit the attaching the cooler rubber lines directly on the oem metal lines...is this a good option? seems a lot cleaner BUT once you cut the metal line behind the factory crimps it will just be a strait line with no lip....Will just sliding the hose on it and clamping it keep it nice and tight on there without slipping off? Also how do you cut that metal line without crushing it? I'm assuming using a side cutters will crush the line...
