But then you have excessive cooling capacity and, in cold weather, you will have a delayed TC lockup if it locks up at all.
i actually read one of your posts and that was why i kinda average between the huge ones and the 4110 that you recommended...i also sent you a private message which you didn't read i guess
well i live in the SF bay area and it hardly ever gets below 40F here...
is it possible to put some sort of pump in the way to increase the flow?

so as easy as you say it is to change the hoses, can i put it on the stock cooler when it's cold and on aftermarket cooler when it's not?

I don't think that the place in the how to docs gets anywhere near the airflow in front of the radiator...and it gets to be helped by the radiator fan in stop n go traffic....
the one i currently have is 3/4" which CAN fit in...with a lot of cursing:P
