I reckon youd be right without an oil cooler, assuming your meaning engine oil, as for trans oil, your can get a decent, cheap kit from repco, and supprisinly they are pretty good.

You can lift an ifs truck 2 inchs without any major dramas, allthough the front diffs are made off glass, and auto locker fixes this problem. But creates another. Its all depends on what type of driving you want to do, and how ...
