In fact, most of the time the differential will work better and rob less power from the drive train once the fluid is heated up to the operating temperatures.... I have NEVER seen a differential problem caused by over heating the fluid on these cars.

So to say a diff cooler is overkill would be a huge understatement. In most cases it would be counter productive as well as being just one other thing to have a problem with (leaky fittings, bad fan, bad relay, blown fuse, etc.) to be honest.
As aforementioned, the diff cooler is for when I go twin turbo about 800 whp.

Also, I talked to GTM in February, and they promised a quick how to guide, didn't get anything a week later, so they re promised. Now it's almost the 2nd week of March, lol.
