Default Anyone run Inline water cooler*s?

I am about ready to make my On-dunes order, and noticed the inline water cooler.
Its under the universal section. Says it fits 7/8 lines. Does anyone run one? did you notice an actual difference?

im looking to prevent my radiator fan from having to turn on much (quite loud and annoying...lol) so im thinking radiator shrouds should help, and thought maybe this would too.

Also if you do have one, where did you mount it? (which line? and in what area? to get the best air flow over it)

Hey roost, Never used one but u split ur line that comes from the top right side of the engine and goes to the top of the radiator right under where u fill it with antifreeze. Kind of hard to explain it but u can get a general idea of where it goes. Never heard if they work or not but IMO i wouldnt buy one. Lance

My fan didn't come on much before, I added some royal purple stuff to it. Now it never comes on, and it takes abit to warm up.
I just can't help but try things out, even with the fan only coming on a couple times. HEHEHEHE! But what I was thinking is, I ride in the Mojave desert in CA. so it gets very hot in the summer so thought it might help in the warmer months.
Anyway my point is I argree with Bartlettracing's post.

Big show: not yet! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] *grrr* I was reading about how most peoples fan's dont come on much at all...and here i was riding in 20 degree weather with my fan coming on !?!?!

it seems to be running decently... hmm hmm hmm... im thinking im a tad rich on bottom, and a tad lean on top ?

How much are the additives? i know there are like 5 of them out there... (i actually think dirtwheels did a review on them awhile back?)

maybe i shoudl buy some and try that....
