Thanks for the advice. I asked the local Ford dealer if they would install the cooler, but they won't work on vehicles that large. They recommended a nearby Ford authorized repair shop to install it. Hopefully Ford wouldn't complain about their work.

When it came to customer sponsored vehicle modifications under factory warranty, the customer usually lost the argument. Even when they won, . . . . . they still lost.
