NV Factory Oil Relocation

I would like to know if there is a writeup on doing this? i would like to relocate the oil cooler to a better place for better cooling. What are thread sizes for outlets? Thanks.

Are you seeing elevated oil temps with the oil cooler in the factory location?

With mine in the stock location, I haven't had any problems with oil getting too hot. I have heard about using 2 factory TII oil coolers on track cars, but really the factory location is pretty good being in the front of the radiator and directly in the path of incoming air from the opening in the front bumper. Possibly add some ducting to force more air through the cooler...

The stock location is fine. If you are seeing oil temperatures that are too high, you have other issues, not the location of the cooler. The stock location is not only in front of the radiator, but the AC condenser as well. There's not really much in the way that blocks airflow to it.
