Consider rigging up the compressor to air up your tires.

What about your fuel gauge- is it still going to work? I thought the level sensor is on the stock fuel pump assembly.
you should be able to mount the transcooler right up where the bottom splash shield is, I bought a aftermarket aluminum one, something like that could be cut out to fit a trans cooler and then just put a grill in the front of it to keep rocks/debri from getting in it.

Yea not touching stock bucket, it will work fine. Stock pump/bucket going to stay in and working 90%of the time.

No more splash sheild, that's 2qs my original thought but couldnt find a good way to mount and still get plenty of air. Dont want to mount above crash bar and block so much intercooler with it either.
Here isnt a bad place but dunno what happened got a little leak somewhere, troubleshooting now.

welp.... ripped front bumper off, started truck, couldnt find leak.... disconnected hoses, put on short piece and put air to it, sprayed some soapy water, no bubbles, changed a 180* 6an fitting out that felt kinda loose the side leaking, put it all back together, went for a drive and got back home and it's all covered in tranny fluid again 
i'll prob just order another one and hope its something screwy

yea, atleast if i could definitely know where its leaking i could just fix it but i havent had another problems with fittings...they're all russell or earl...probably was just careless with the cooler after i took it out. not terribly expensive just hate buying stuff twice
I remember after I installed mine in the lower grill area, about a month later I heard a sound like a muffler dragging on the pavement so I immediately pulled over. It was my trans cooler; one of the 2 bolts that I had attached it with had backed out and it was dragging on the road. No leaks, no real damage. You can be sure it got 2 new bolts loctited and torqued the hell down. Just lucky I wasn’t on the freeway.
I drove my Silverado today after having it at the dealer Friday for new trans lines, I was getting on The freeway and seen giant white puffs behind me, I knew right away what it was, freaking line came out or broke or something whole undercarriage looks like it took a bath in trans fluid, luckily I caught it right away I managed to get it parked right when it started to not want to go
