I got the factory external cooler today. I just have to by some hose. I see the pictured posted. I took notice of how it mounted when I was in the salvage yard looking for other pieces. When I compared to my 98 Ranger I have that screw hole, and the slotted hole but mine has a air bag crash sensor there. On mine where the cooler bracket is mounted in the posted picture I have a body tag mounted there with two small screws. I'm assuming that's the one of the is the same hole as pictured. I got some factory scews from a cooler at the salvage yard. I have the two bracket screw holes on the bottom on my truck. So it appears that the connections can be tied in with the radiator cooling lines using either the top of bottom line. But what is the best setup to use. Right now I've got the aftermarket cooler tied in with my top radiator cooler line. It looked like at the salvage yard Ford tied it through the bottom line. It doesn't appear that there is an in and out either on the factory external cooler so I guess it doesn't matter which hose goes where.
