wow Rear diff cooler is MSRP $2,395, might as well just use a heavier diff oil.
I will be putting in amsoil 75-140. the stock diff oil on gt350 is 85.
That's what I was thinking... I might try to piece that kit together as well if it's that much. I think I can make both kits for somewhere around $1500 plus my labor.

Ok, so I called FP back two more times for clarification
Diff Cooler Kit is part number M-4000-M8S. List price is $2,395 (USD).
Matt at FP says this will provide OEM functioning and stated, when I asked about a manual switch, "no, 100% factory".
This kit can be ordered now. There are currently no on line links to what the kit includes.

I remain guarded, but hopeful, this will provide full OEM operability.

Edit:
Additional info from FP "There will be a dash switch to provide power, and a thermostatic switch that gets installed that actually kicks the pump on."
More info is good. Thanks Matt.

If it is OEM operable, I might ante up for it. The wife won't like it but oh well. The trans cooler, I still am going to go rouge.

Spoke w the folks at AN WBL a couple of times... Part number for the kit is not in the system yet. They had to call FP see what was included. No PNs provided but they say it should include everything to cool the diff. I asked about variable speed pump and ECM integration and they were unable to verify, pretty much said it could be like the xmsn cooler- always cooling..
Contrary to immediate availability, it might be available 6/20. Their pricing will be as usual, 10% over cost (their cost estimated around $1,600)..None of this is set in stone.

I actually got my diff kit today from Mike at Buyfordracing shipped for $1650. Since Brian is signed up for the unboxing, I'll just thank [MENTION=19066]Epiphany[/MENTION] an [MENTION=21788]Tank[/MENTION] for providing us good info. I don't post much, but these are the types of threads I can't do without on Mustang 6G; I'd simply never know without them.

heavy oil won't help temp or stop limp mode. what surprises me is that somebody doesn't come out with a cold can for the spare hole and run tyranny and diff through it. Seems easier than hanging all those coolers. Never worry about temps just add more ice. Easy routing of lines put the pumps there also, one switch. That way at the track every time you fill up just more ice. Instead of fans around the car trying cool it between runs just run the pumps.

If you mount the pump behind the pass. front tire and use the FP partial kit the easy part is the radiator and lines to the front of the car. With the cooler the temps stay lowl enough to not worry about cooling between sessions. I was given the opportunity to run the next faster run group so I had back to back 20 minute sessions and the trans stayed in the 190's.

Diff cooler is next as right now I'm replacing fluid after each track day.

For the add on electric pump the most annoying part was securing the lines to the fill and drain ports.

Thanks for the props Matt(@Mkonrad)!
For you and Brian (@Cammer), did you get an invoice with the parts listed? Could you post a pic?
Thanks in advance :cheers:
