If the tans cooler/oil cooler are separate, where do they mount? And at this point, a hand drawn picture would help lolol...

Nope the E-fan mounts directly to the radiator and no more shroud. there is about a good 6-10" from the fan to the motor

How effective is the transmission cooler? and will the stock lines have to be modified to fit this radiator?
More info on the controller & fans would be great! How much power do they draw, How do you determine on/off for both hi and low, How user friendly the controller is, How loud are the fans, Warranty, How clean and DIY is the Install and last but not least..... Warranty?
My next mod was installing my E-fans but if this is something that will see the light of day before Christmas I would be interested in it FOR THE RIGHT PRICE!!!

That's gonna be the sticking point I think......PRICE. You can get a nice universal fit griffin with custom mounted dual fans, dual core all aluminum rad and fan shroud. But it's $600........

The transmission cooler is pretty effective. I haven't got my trans gauge hooked up yet to give you a detailed number yet though. The fans draw 18-28 amps when on they are a 2 stage fan so they turn on 60% first then 100% if needed. They make noise yes but just like any other e fan. The Fans have a 1 year warranty. the install is very clean and for the trans cooler lines you would have to cut them off and attach a hose to it is about the most cutting you will need to do. I will post more later today as far as pictures go and the fan will work with the factory radiator, i had it before also.

I cant tell you a price yet because nothing is set in stone here. But if you want to put a griffin in that's fine but, these radiators don't have a cap they have a degas bottle and it has other hoses connected to the radiator so this radiator is a DIRECT bolt in. It has no cap and has other hoses connected to it for degas and water pump.

Do you have a stall? I know adding a stall creates more heat and alot of guys run a larger cooler, if the radiator has a decent size cooler it can eliminate the need of a aftermarket unit.
The fans activate through the controller but what tells the controller to turn the fans on if it doesn't use the PCM?
you can put me on the list as interested but without knowing the complete setup and the price Its hard to say if I would buy.

I apologize if I miss anyone's questions, I actually had these fans on my Tahoe previously without the radiator and the only thing i noticed was a little more power due not having a clutch fan but the radiator dropped my temp to 185 instantly, and I did not change a T-stat. And no a tune will not be needed there is a control box that would come with the fans and it has a temp probe that you put into your lower hose (cut hose and insert and hold with hose clamp, it does not leak) and the only special things you would need would come with the kit. It is wired into the AC clutch as well so when the compressor turns on the fans kick on at 60%

At the moment no I do not have a stall. I will be getting a Circle D in the next couple of weeks though. But with the radiator upgrade it loses the tranny cooler that was in the factory radiator so weather or not you want a external cooler it would be included in the kit as this radiator doesn't have it. My last post should answer your fan turn on question.
