The thing cools like hell! (does that make sense?) If my fan wasn't on a temp switch it my temp would be 170 all day. I drove on the freeway for an hour without my fan coming on and 90 deg weather outside. Holds a lot of coolant too! When you see it in person and compare it to stock it's a monster.

How about mounting? Did it mount w/ no problems or did you have to do any modifying? What about the upper brackets?

I can't remember what size I ordered but I know it's close to stock. I had to drill new holes for the upper brackets and use a bolt and nut to hold it down. Nothing major at all. The bottom I think I hammered it a little so it can hold the radiator a little better. You don't need any fabing skills for this so don't worry.

The bottom hose didn't want to fit right because the outlet on the summit radiator comes out at an angle (don't ask me why). I just cut some of the bottom hose till it fit.

Yep! It's the one from autozone. It works great, even as low as it is. Still sucks up the fluid, which you can clearly see with the clear overflow hose I have.
