    Well, I have that for you as well. 1 fitty :) Kidding. I think I paid $57 at SendAndCut. Is yours for the same price plus shipping? I will throw in some screws for the Setrab. You got the 20 rows right? I have bracket for 15 rows as well. 1 fitty :)

    I'm glad the updated bracket worked out. That Setrab cooler will keep your trans happy for a long time.

    Once again, you're in luck my friend. I designed the @pman9003 bracket to accommodate both, a 20 row and a 15 row Setrab and already shipped one to another guy who was successful at installing it with a 15 row Setrab cooler. I have one left for $48 plus shipping cost, is what I paid to have it done. See receipt. You will need to buy the screws / hardware which is easy and perhaps another $10-15

    John, ignore my PM I sent earlier. Now I’ve read this entire thread haha. If you still have this bracket available I’d gladly take it off your hands!

    You know - reading thru the instructions - it clearly says installing a cooler right up against the condenser provides the Maximum cooling affect without a Fan - Hmmm.

    You are lucky to find a dealership who will do this type of work for you. Keep them happy.

    I am following the same approach with the Toyota dealer that did my supercharger and I get the same results. Great service, awesome mechanic and a good discounted hourly rate. Only problem this is in Huntsville TX, about 90 miles from me, but is worth the drive.

    Just enjoy the trip. It's fun hitting the highway, putting some miles on the truck and having that peace and tranquility to yourself sometimes. Btw, glad you got the supercharger and not those problem child turbos. I never dug turbos but like superchargers.

    Thanks. Yeah I am enjoying the heck out of it. The supercharger is fun and I barely have 15K miles on my truck. Hit that today actually :)

    Yeah I avoided buying the turd gen like the plague. Ugly design, porn stache, cheap interior, unproven engine and turbos, and a price to match, $75K plus.

    Unfortunately not. It was done at a Toyota service shop. The tech said it was perfect fit. When I look at the top and the bottom it looks perfectly flashed and mounted. I can take pictures of that?

    Thanks to @pman9003 for the legwork on the bracket for a 20 row cooler. I've been looking through various threads to get a parts list together for my 2021 Tundra. This is what I've come up with thus far. I did call the dealership to confirm fitment for my truck before dropping the cash on everything, but they were unable to do so. I assume this is because post 2018 trucks didn't have any of these parts as original equipment. They did confirm the hose clamps on my list have been superseded by part number 90466-A0014. I just wanted to confirm that everything listed would fit up seamlessly on a 2021 5.7. I did see that I would need some M8 hardware and a 3/8" or 10mm spacer to mount the bracket to the truck, which I can pick up as well. Appreciate any help you guys can provide. My apologies if I've overlooked a previous post confirming this already.

    Those are all the part numbers I used for my 2021 (except I used Gates transmission hose from a local parts store)

    I also used Gates transmission hose from Reilly's. I'm willing to bet the Setrab stuff is better, but at the time I was having trouble sourcing it.

    You will also need:
    -some M6 hardware for mounting the cooler to the bracket
    -some rubber grommets to protect the hose where is will pass through the air dams behind the grille
    -2 quarts of Toyota WS ATF
    -crush washer for the level check plug 3517830010
    -O ring for the fill plug 9030115004 (this is optional, I reused mine since my truck was still pretty new and it looked good visually)

    Thanks guys. I've got parts on the way. Just so I'm clear, the upper right hole in the bracket is only for repositioning and mounting the horn, correct? It will only bolt to the truck itself in the lower elongated hole and the second to right hole in the upper arm correct?

    Correct. For the top m8 screw you need this

    Sounds good. Appreciate it. Hope to get these tranny temps down. I'm sure this will do the trick.

    Mine is in the 180's, and the bypass pin is removed as per Toyota specs. Runs perfect

    That's great. I plan to run with the pin removed as well.
